getting rid of 1st copy of GIMP
#3
@petedecember

Using LM19 then Gimp 2.10.14 comes from the 'otto..' PPA 
How did you remove Gimp 2.10.14 ? sudo apt purge gimp should work. 

However the PPA remains in the repository source list and;

If you use apt to install gmic_gimp_qt then Gimp 2.10.14 is a dependency and will want to re-install from the PPA
If using a .deb package from the gmic site, chances are the same happens with the added disadvantage that the plugin does not work with LM19 / 'buntu 18.04 and spin-offs

After first purging Gimp, remove the PPA from the repo sources
Code:
sudo apt install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp
sudo apt update

--------------
Still not the solution because
A Gimp 2.10.18 - a flatpak or a snap.  Start Gimp Look in Edit -> Preferences -> Folders. The plug-ins folder might look like this

   

Flatpak is a 'sandboxed' application. You can add scripts and plugins with reservations. Compiled plugins with un-met dependencies will not work. That includes gimp_gmic_qt which requires the QT libraries 
Not included in the flatpak. Not possible at present = no gimp_gmic_qt

------------
At the moment, if you want to use Gimp 2.10.18 and gimp_gmic_qt in a LM 19 the option is an appimage from https://github.com/aferrero2707/gimp-appimage/releases/  Look under Assets for the 2.10.18 with plugins file. (164 MB) This comes with gimp_gmic_qt preinstalled.  It will also co-exist with other Gimp installations.
