Hi folks. After upgrading to 19.04, I find that GIMP now fails to load. On running it from CLI, I see the following error, and nothing further happens.



gimp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgimpcolor-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: gegl_scratch_alloc


GEGL is installed. I tried both the distro version of GIMP, and a newer version from PPA, same issue with both.

Any ideas, anyone?

Did you try updating gegl and babl manually as well?
