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 Status: New -- An partial update libgimp 2.4.6 was given, and it causes Gimp not to work! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
