I get this message "BABL version too old! GIMP requires BABL version 0.1.56 or later. Installed BABL version is 0.1.46. Somehow you or your software packager managed to install GIMP with an older BABL version. Please upgrade to BABL version 0.1.56 or later." Man with new problem now

The problem they create is that you have multiple different versions of the same libraries and you're now relying on multiple people to patch security holes and bugs in all the different versions. One of Debian's strengths is that all the programs (eventually) work together perfectly. I'll put up with bugs that sometimes creep into the testing versions because I know that they get sorted out and the final stable product is very stable and secure. I do admit that I've seen more, and more serious, bugs in this testing release than in previous ones. However I also note that there have been some amazing changes right the way through so you have to expect that things will break. I think the GIMP problems may already be fixed. After tonight's upgrades it seems to be working a lot better.

I'm sorry, I don't have an immediate answer, but I do feel your pain. Seriously firsthand empathy when sound goes missing for video editing. :) Am writing to suggest trying to run it from a terminal window to see if that helps at least give you some error messages to work with. It's fresh in mind because I did that earlier with Thunar file manager just to run as root user. Ended up accidentally uncovering some (missing) flash related whoopsies I had caused to occur. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with duct tape *

Try the Flatpak version of GIMP.
Is GIMP seriously broken in Buster?
Am I missing something or is GIMP seriously broken? In my Buster/AMD64 system, I open a picture, select a section and try to cut it and the whole picture disappears. I'm left with a white or transparent background. If I select a region and try to copy it, GIMP crashes. I'm reduced to using KolourPaint for the urgent editing work I'm trying to do.
