Bug#939768: gimp: After the last upgrade, GIMP crashes when creating a new image or opening an existing one.

[Bob Weber]

I tried upgrading gegl, libgegl-0.4-0, and libgegl-common to :

gegl (0.4.14-1+b2)
libspiro1 (1:20190731-1+b1)    <== brought in by upgrading gegl
libgegl-0.4-0 (0.4.12-2 => 0.4.14-1+b2)
libgegl-common (0.4.12-2 => 0.4.14-1)

I run testing but also have unstable pined to a lower priorty than testing so 
apt policy shows the unstable versions also.

Now gimp-v shows :

         gcc version 9.2.1 20190827 (Debian 9.2.1-6)

using GEGL version 0.4.14 (compiled against version 0.4.14)
using GLib version 2.60.6 (compiled against version 2.60.6)
using GdkPixbuf version 2.38.1 (compiled against version 2.38.1)
using GTK+ version 2.24.32 (compiled against version 2.24.32)
using Pango version 1.42.3 (compiled against version 1.42.3)
using Fontconfig version 2.13.1 (compiled against version 2.13.1)
using Cairo version 1.16.0 (compiled against version 1.16.0)


So all seems OK with GEGL version 0.4.14 (compiled against version 0.4.14)!

Tried working on a simple jpg image and exported to png without a crash.

Hope this helps.
