So... Discovering that Debian and/or Ubuntu decided to make their GIMP 2.8 packages depend on gegl-0.3 instead of gegl-0.2 came as a surprise to some of the GIMP developers.
We prefer not to raise library dependencies in the stable branch, and have certainly not planned for changes in GIMP code to accommodate for this in the stable branch - as you can see, the patch author for the fix in the GIMP master branch isn't sure if the patch can be backported to be compatible with both gegl-0.2 and gegl-0.3: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770848 This makes this hard to fix from our side for distros that choose to deviate from the upstream dependencies. Can I assume that Ubuntu tries to fix this for their package, based on the patch(es) proposed in this bug report? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #770848 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770848 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gimp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1614593 Title: gimp freezes at end of cage-base transform Status in The Gimp: Unknown Status in gimp package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello.
