Description Richard Houser 2020-12-31 18:28:41 CET

Description of problem:

Attempting to launch gimp gives a dialog with this text:

GEGL operation missing!

GIMP requires the GEGL operation "gegl:introspect".
This operation cannot be found. Check your
GEGL install and ensure it has been compiled
with any dependencies required for GIMP.


This may be as simple as a missing dependency, but I have not had time to dig into it.  Installing gegl package didn't help.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I also have this package installed.
lib64gegl0.4_0-0.4.28-1.mga8

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Attempt to launch gimp

Thank you for reporting this. One imagines that Gimp used to work, and has stopped doing so after recent updates?

I confirm the fault, with the same lib64gegl0.4_0-0.4.28-1.mga8; the fault is very recent because I used Gimp - recently!

Gimp itself has not been updated since Oct.
lib64gegl0.4_0-0.4.28-1.mga8.x86_64 has *just* been updated, among over 100 other pkgs. I wish I had tried Gimp before doing them...

 $ urpmq --requires gimp | grep gegl
 libgegl-0.4.so.0()(64bit)
 libgegl-npd-0.4.so()(64bit)         [I do not have this one]

 $ urpmq --whatrequires lib64gegl0.4_0
 ...
 gimp
 ...

I have no other GEGL pkgs (such as  'gegl'), so do not think they matter here.
Since Gimp has not just changed, it seems better to suspect initially gegl. This has no fixed maintainer, so assigning this bug globally; CC'ing DavidW who just did the 0.4.28 commit; and Shlomi for Gimp 2.10.22 in case Gimp needs fiddling re the new gegl.
I have upped the importance because Gimp is such a major application to not work.

Comment 2 David Walser 2021-01-01 00:33:55 CET

That stinks.  The new gegl should have been called 0.5.0 to make clear it was a development version.  Oh well, we'll have to update to gimp 2.99.4.  In progress.  Hopefully everything rebuilds fine vs. the new libgimp.

Should be good to go when your mirror syncs in a few hours.

Thanks for the report.

I confirm gimp launches now.  Thank you!
