Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gimp
On a recent update to Gutsy Ubuntu 7.10 32 bit, libgimp 2.4.6 was downloaded,
while the version of Gimp was 2.4.2. An error message comes up and says
versions need to be the same number in order for gimp to work. As it is GIMP
2.4.2, the libgimp needs to be 2.4.2, and not 2.4.6. It was a partial upgrade,
of 4 items while only one was presented. This causes gimp not to work, it will
not even start. Trying to uninstall libgimp 2.4.6, reduces Gutsy to almost
nothing, as the desktop and other items in it all depend on Gimp 2.4.2. Please
either furnish GIMP 2.4.2 and libgimp 2.4.2, or libgimp 2.4.6 and Gimp 2.4.6 so
that the program GIMP may be able to run again. LibGimp 2.4.2 can not be found
with synaptic, and Gimp
2.4.6 can not be found with synaptic. it is as though someone did this, to
destroy GIMP!
****The error message reads: Libgimp version mismatch!
The GIMP binary cannot run with a libgimp version
other than its own. This is GIMP 2.4.2, but the
libgimp version is 2.4.6.
Maybe you have GIMP versions in both /usr and /usr/local ?**** end of
error message.
I don't want to report a bug about xorg server, and don't know how to
undo that. The bug is with libgimp2.0
The package is libgimp2,0
** Affects: gimp (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
