There is no need to install hugin from a PPA, the version in the standard repository is up to date. There is also no dependency on panini... if there was, all you would have to do is installed hugin and it would automatically pull in panini all by itself.

It sounds like you are under the impression that hugin is a plugin for the GIMP. Although there are ways to access hugin from other programs, hugin is a standalone program that is best used all by itself... after you've gotten your images out of hugin and they still need teaking then you can pull the resulting image into the GIMP and work on them there.

my websearch for how to install it led me to the instructions

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/hugin-builds;  sudo apt-get update;
    sudo  apt-get install hugin enblend panini

which, after it ran, spat out:

    Reading package lists... Done
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    E: Unable to locate package panini

but I later learned that  panini just another program that can be used
for scaling batches of files and so isn't really necessary... I suppose.
didn't I just learn how to use 'convert' for this purpose.  panini is a
dependency though. I thought dependencies were required.

In any case I read the gimp help file on installing pugins and it says
after the install of the pluginone needs to activate it. I tried
following their instructions but could not locate the hugin plugin in
the tree nor by "launch the Plugin Description dialog (from Xtns/Plugins
Details). I couldn't find the xtns menu.
