Update to GIMP 3.0.8 causes errors

Applications
1

I wanted to update GIMP from 3.0.6 to 3.0.8 (errors also occur when updating from 2.10.36).

Using PandaJim PPA on Linux Mint MATE 22.2.

examples of the errors:

Traceback (most recent call last):

looks like something is missing - but what?

Strange enough this did not happen on all machines I have updated, so there must be a difference which I don’t see.

What exactly are you doing when you get these errors? Does GIMP run OK despite the errors?

Just opening a terminal and starting gimp.

After some days of searching I finally found what’s missing:

gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10
is the package needed. I guess it would be a good idea if it were marked as dependency by PandaJim.

Thank you very much @barefootliam for caring.
