I would guess that you have libbabl/libgegl from deb-multimedia.org, similar
to #961993 (and many other bug reports in the past).

These third-party packages are incorrectly packaged: their version
numbers are set in a way that makes them pretend to be a higher version
than anything in Debian, even though they are actually older, leading
to broken installations.

We cannot support third-party packages, particularly ones that are
wrongly packaged like this. Please install libbabl/libgegl from Debian,
and if possible do not use deb-multimedia.org at all.

If you are not using deb-multimedia.org packages, please use
`reportbug --template gimp` to get more information about gimp and
its dependencies, and send the result to this bug report's address.
