Alas not for us 'buntu / Mint 19 users
PPA Gimp 2.10.14 compile failed.

Dare say it will get there eventually, was a couple of weeks for (bionic) Gimp 2.10.12
One bug reported fixed is still open (#3532)
Very cool normal map filter that works in high bit depth. It has been a real pain dealing with the old normal map filter and the insane bump filters. Also seems like I have to check the Y flip option to make it work for Blender
The updated Gimp 2.10.14 packages are now there in the 'buntu PPA

There is a problem with the python support package,
if you are in no hurry to upgrade, stay with Gimp 2.10.12

I am sure this will be fixed eventually. If you are really keen to use Gimp 2.10.14 then this procedure
Update the repo list
Remove existing gimp-python
Code:
sudo apt --purge remove gimp-python
Install (update) Gimp and dependencies
Code:
sudo apt install gimp libbabl-0.1-0 libgegl-0.4-0
Force the gimp-python installation
Code:
sudo apt -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-overwrite" install gimp-python
Thanks Rich for the info.
Ran into the same issue and was wondering where the fault is.
Good to know it's not only me.
Cheers

I emailed Thorsten Stettin about the error and just got this:
quote Oops, sorry, I will fix this issue in the next hours, I hope.
edit:
Checked and the problem has been fixed. Updated Gimp 2.10.14 packages are there.
seems to be fixed now. Could install ok on one machine.
