Are you still experiencing this issue? If not, this may have been<br>
fixed with gimp 3.2.4-3+b1 which has this note "Rebuild against<br>
libimath-3-2-30"<br>
<br>
I believe these kinds of issues happen occasionally in Debian Unstable<br>
where there may be incomplete library transitions and are less likely<br>
to happen with Debian Testing.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
