Ubuntu

Problem

After upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04 form 18.04, I wasn’t able to start GIMP 2.10. The message was in the same format as that in a related Ask Ubuntu question, except that the version numbers were greater.

I attempted installing the package gegl, which was irrelavant to the problem.

Analysis

I found the answers mentioning the package libgegl helpful.

$ dpkg -l | grep gegl
ii  gegl                                       0.4.22-3

Despite deletion of ppa:otto-kesselgulasch/gimp by ppa-purge, that leaves a trace in /etc/apt/sources.list.d.
