Bug report URL: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/issues/new

NOTE: if you plan on packaging GIMP for distribution, it is recommended
      to override the bug report URL with option:
        --with-bug-report-url=https://example.com/
      so that you can filter packaging bugs from core bugs before
      reporting upstream.

I too encountered the same problem @MVinhas has met.

- Error: missing dependency babl >= 0.1.78 but I have 0.1.100 installed.

What could be the issue here? I even tried babl-git package, but no success either.

I had a persistent 'libffi.so.7' problem with python2-gimp/gimp-resynthesizer, similar to the issue reported by other users. It took me almost half a day to figure out the culprit...

Lately, lots of python2 packages and their dependencies has been moved from the official repository to the AUR; consequently, they don't get updated, but just disappear from the package database.

When I noticed the libffi issue, my first reaction was to run

pactree -r -d 1 libffi

to check which packages depend on libffi. The problem is, I wasn't aware that pactree does not show packages which does not exist in the tree anymore, so it took me quite a while to figure out which package was actually broken.

In my case, 'python2-gobject2' was the culprit, causing those 'libffi.so.7' errors and breaking gimp-resynthesizer. I had originally installed it when it still was in the repository, so the obvious fix was to move to the AUR version.

TL;DR: If you have the same issue, be sure to check ALL python2-gimp dependencies and their dependencies deeply enough, and rebuild the ones moved to AUR in the correct order from bottom to top.

I hope this helps someone having the same issue.

@kitchen_ace it was an issue with Manjaro stable branch. Switched to unstable and now it's fine.

@korimitsu gegl is a dependency of gimp, which is itself a dependency of python2-gimp. It builds fine for me. Do you have an up-to-date gimp installation?

Does not even work replacing gegl-git with gegl.
