Hello, I recently did a wipe and reinstalled Debian 12.
One issue I'm having is, I can no longer install gimp, it seems to be
missing from the repos.
Only thing I can find in the repos is gimp-help etc.

Please reply back.
thanks

Sincerely,
nicky

Exactly what did you do? I installed Debian 12 Xfce4 desktop version
six days ago, and Gimp was installed with it. I don't see any reports
about it in the last week.

Gimp was removed from testing on 2024-09-25[1] due to the ongoing
transition. See [2] for more details.

I think you can enable sid (if only temporarily) and install it from
there.

Hi,


Does anyone know who/how/why Gimp was removed from testing?


I found the links below, but to me they don't explain any valid
reasons or how this decision was made (automated or by human) ?


So curious how such a well known package becomes removed. And wonder
how it will be available when Stable is released.

In my previous mail I missed the fact that there was a serious bug
against Gimp (https://bugs.debian.org/1078402) which caused it to be
removed from testing. You can also see this from the "excuses" section
on its tracker page:

Issues preventing migration:
∙ ∙ Updating gimp would introduce bugs in testing: #1078402

I guess it takes some effort to backport the upstream fix because Gimp
has migrated to meson on HEAD but the 2.10.x branch is still using
autotools.

The original poster specified Debian 12, not testing. Wherefore the
following is dangerous advice.

Thanks for pointing this out! Yes, one should definitely avoid making a
FrankenDebian.

OTOH, let's wait for OP to clarify what OP has installed in your other
mail.

Curiouser and curiouser.

***@issola:/# apt-cache search gimp | sort | grep -E '^gimp '
gimp - GNU Image Manipulation Program
***@issola:/#

So it's definitely there. Which leads me to wonder: have you done an
"apt update" lately?

I also wonder what your /etc/apt/sources.list looks like. Mine (beware
of wrapping):

***@issola:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
#deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.2.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 NETINST with firmware 20231007-10:28]/ bookworm main non-free-firmware

# deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
# deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

# This system was installed using small removable media
# (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
