Personally I'd just delete gimp.list from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ then apt-get update, then reinstall gimp

If I was being careful and thorough, I'd then search how to remove the apt key, which I don't know off the top of my head, having not had to do it, plus it seems pretty harmless without the repo listed

apt-key --help looks a helpful place to start.

First remove the GIMP version you have now:

sudo apt purge gimp

Then remove Steve Pusser's repository:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gimp.list

Finally, update the package database and install the old version:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install gimp

If you let us know how exactly Steve's version of GIMP fails — posting anything relevant from ~/.xsession-errors would be a great help — then perhaps we can get it working for you.

Removing everything it upgraded might be a bigger job than that. For example, it also needed a newer libbabl and libgegl, and libgegl in turn needed a newer ffmpeg to build on Jessie, which is why it's in the multimedia repo. FFmpeg in turn is a lot of packages, and it in turn depends on some other backported packages. Leaving them installed shouldn't break anything, though.

An alternative could be just to tell aptitude to install the version you want; so, an example on MX 16:

 apt-cache policy gimp
gimp:
  Installed: 2.8.22-0mx15+1
  Candidate: 2.8.22-0mx15+1
  Version table:
 *** 2.8.22-0mx15+1 0
        500 http://iso.mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/ mx15/test amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     2.8.18-0mx150+2 0
        500 http://iso.mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ mx15/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://iso.mxrepo.com/mx/repo/ mx16/main amd64 Packages
     2.8.14-1+deb8u1 0
        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie/main amd64 Packages
        500 http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates/main amd64 Packages

So the Jessie version is "2.8.14-1+deb8u1". We just tell aptitude to install that version:

aptitude install gimp=2.8.14-1+deb8u1

Aptitude will try multiple solutions to this, and the first one is seldom the one you want. Just keep hitting "n" to go to the next solution.

I get

GIMP requires BABL version 0.1.30 or later.
Installed BABL version is 0.1.28.

Somehow you or your software packager managed
to install GIMP with an older BABL version.

Please upgrade to BABL version 0.1.30 or later.

there could be a problem in that I use #! upgraded to stretch. none of the suggestions work

@stevep's suggestion should work — did you try all of the options given by `aptitude`?

Or we could try the `apt-get` sledgehammer:

sudo apt-get install gimp=2.8.14-1+deb8u1

Can we see:

apt-cache policy gimp

That is the correct version:

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gimp

sudo apt-get install gimp=2.8.18-1

I think.

What have I done to myself? but you people are very kind and helpful

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-09-30 21:04:23

OK, we need to use `aptitude`s advanced heuristics here, so stevep was right (no surprise there):

sudo aptitude install gimp=2.8.18-1

As Steve noted, the command will offer more than one option and the first one probably won't help so be sure to press "n" when it asks so you can see the other options

Well I got that to work. You guys are great

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-09-30 21:12:36

Hooray!

I will mark the thread [SOLVED]

dove · 2017-09-30 22:38:58

sorry one more thing. update wants to update

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libmypaint
The following packages will be upgraded:
  gegl gimp gimp-data libgegl-0.3-0 libgimp2.0

is this going to mess thing up?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-09-30 22:42:35

Have you removed /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gimp.list?

Remember to use `sudo apt update` after changing any repositories.

yes I did both but I'm using crunchbang upgrade to stretch

Erm, OK, you should really include this sort of thing in the first post.

Which versions of GIMP are available now?

apt-cache policy gimp

If that only shows stretch packages then it's probably "safe" to upgrade.
