the title says it all, i accidentally deleted the gimp folder in usr/share. does anyone know how to get these directories back?

a backup of someone else's folder? anyone?

ive tried this twice from the software center and synaptic, rebooting everytime, i got the directories usr/share/gimp/2.0/ because i checked gimp data extras in synaptic but not all are back, not enough to have the menus at least. all it could do is preview a photo, cant edit, nothing...

i get this error upon launching gimp:

There was an error parsing the menu definition from image-menu.xml: Failed to open file '/usr/share/gimp/2.0/menus/image-menu.xml': No such file or directory

acquired a copy of usr/share/gimp/2.0/menus/image-menu.xml

i had alot missing but this fixed it. thanks

yes i have, honestly i want to do this again! ive had the menus come back up, but most of my added scripts wont work anymore. all i get now is errors! i just want the usr/share/gimp/2.0 back to how it was, default if anything... or obtain a backup from somebody.

anyone? im still having problems

I can send you a copy of my /usr/share/gimp/2.0 directory. Just pm me your email address.
