(If i disable the repo, synaptic reverts to offering gimp 2.8.) I have since removed all the packages you suggested (which also took out some other stuff like sane, etc.), and reinstalled gimp 2.10.6, following the steps in your synaptic history (noting that one of the files you removed, libgutenprintui2-1, wasn't previously installed on my system). I'm still getting the same error.(08-23-2018, 08:40 AM)rich2005 Wrote:I had removed gimp and gimp-data, but not the others. I'll give it a try...Quote:..

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.

Apart from the GEGL message, the first part is usual: https://i.imgur.com/6S6O4s6.jpg
