It is known to cause breakage and needless bug reports against the Ubuntu package. I have had to fight against that PPA for the past two years. People are breaking their systems by using that PPA, and you're one example. DO. NOT. USE. IT. Something that might work is installing "ppa-purge" and typing "sudo ppa-purge ppa:otto-kesselgulasch <<a href="https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://launchpad.net/~otto-kesselgulasch</a>>/gimp-stable" to get back to the repo version. If that doesn't work, then clean install, and DON'T ADD THAT PPA! -Erich > On 5/9/20 2:17 PM, BabsKy wrote: >> Hi Erich, thanks for the quick reply. >> I do use Otto's ppa but his last build failed so there hasn't been a >> Gimp update since 2.10.14, which was quite a while ago.
