Public bug reported:
I installed gimp with
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gimp
and the install printed
Suggested packages:
gimp-help-en gimp-help gimp-data-extras
so after gimp 2.8.10 installed successfully I ran
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends gimp-help-en
but this installed gimp-help-common (2.6.1-1) and gimp-help-en
(2.6.1-1), help for the OLD VERSION OF gimp.
This is actively unhelpful for 90% of gimp users who are better off
browsing up-to-date documentation at http://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/
Until it's updated, gimp-help-en *shouldn't* be a recommended package
for gimp, and the package information should have a disclaimer "Help for
the old 2.6 version of gimp, this documentation hasn't been updated
since 2011."
