[Solved] Gimp doesn't start

[ajavibp]

Hello, when I try to start The Gimp I obtain this message:

GEGL operation missing!


GIMP requires the GEGL operation "gegl:seamless-clone".
This operation cannot be found. Check your
GEGL install and ensure it has been compiled
with any dependencies required for GIMP.

libgegl-0.3-0 is installed :?

...
libgegl-0.3-0 is installed :?

Here, on 32 bit, fully updated exept today, but apt-get updated, Gimp works, libgegl-0.3-0 is neither on my system nor elsewhere in sid.

Where does this version come from?

[ajavibp]

I'm using the 64 bit version from repositories

It works here.

But strange, the same command on my 64bit laptop::

It seems to be a mystic package:

# LANG=C apt-cache policy libgegl-0.3-0
N: Unable to locate package libgegl-0.3-0
N: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libgegl-0.3-0'

It seems to be a mystic package:

No, it is not.
We have gimp in our experimental repo!

The experimental repo is somewhat hidden, not listed here:
http://packages.siduction.org/

So forget about what I said here, can't be of much help then.

[ajavibp]

Remove the experimental repository and reinstall the packages solved my problem. 
Thank you!

and here is the perfect reason why i don't like dmo:

nothing against the packages, but the excessive usage of epoch sucks and is a real pita
