however, according to synaptic, the version of gdkpixbuf on my system is 2.36.11-2.....

..and that is the only version for ubuntu bionic

Did you have say, the kesselgulasch/gimp-edge packages installed? If so, have you disabled that repo in synaptic.

My (k)ubuntu 18.04 VM has(had) gimp-edge installed. To get Gimp 2.10.6 installed and running I had to remove Gimp and related packages.

This is the synaptic history. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/6jEZPFk.jpg
removed gimp gimp-data
removed libgimp2.0
removed libgegl libgtk2-perl
installed gimp which pulled in the updated libbabl and libgegl packages.

You could just try updating libgegl but I would purge anything Gimp and start again. Your gimp profile will remain, that is not lost.

Quote:I tried starting it from a console, and the pop-up was preceded by the following message:

Apart from the GEGL message, the first part is usual: https://i.imgur.com/6S6O4s6.jpg
I had removed gimp and gimp-data, but not the others. I'll give it a try...
