Bug#907998: gimp: Gimp does not load or crashes quickly

[Luis Mochan]

Package: gimp
Version: 2.10.6-3
Followup-For: Bug #907998

It seems I have the same problem. Gimp seems to hang forever when I
start it either from a terminal or from the menu. I read about
removing my personal GIMP configuration directory, but it didn't change
anything, and about removing libopenblas, but I don't have openblas
installed. I do have blas, though:
$ aptitude search blas|grep -E ^i
i A libblas-dev - Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, static library
i A libblas3 - Basic Linear Algebra Reference implementations, shared library
i A libgslcblas0 - GNU Scientific Library (GSL) -- blas library package

Regards,
Luis
