Do you have a version of libbabl-0.1-0 installed from some apt
source outside Debian, for instance deb-multimedia.org, or a copy of
libbabl-0.1.so.0 in a non-dpkg-managed directory like /usr/local/lib?

We have had recurring problems with deb-multimedia.org providing its own
libbabl-0.1-0 and libgegl-0.4-0 packages, which are marked with higher
version numbers than any official Debian version, causing them to satisfy
versioned dependencies even when they should not.

Either you do not have libbabl and libgegl installed, or (probably
more likely) whatever software you were using to report this bug
is not reporting installed packages correctly. Please report bugs
using the reportbug(1) tool from the reportbug package whenever
possible.  The reportbug-ng package is not recommended, due to
<https://bugs.debian.org/841527> (it is also no longer maintained).

You can provide the same information that reportbug would have done
by running "reportbug --template gimp" and pasting its output into an
email to the bug address.
