This LinuxMint release is a recent new install of LinuxMint 18.1.​ Using
the gimp-edge PPA on LinuxMint 17.3 this issue *did not* occur. I have searched the bug system for "resynthesizer" and "heal" with nothing relvant.
​
I'm working on an "old family photographs" project and the current image is
badly scratched. So, I'm creating masks then using them for selections, and
then running heal selection. Issue is trying to use heal-selection. I get
an odd error that I did NOT get with the gimp-edge PPA when installed on
LinuxMint 17.3:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 740, in response dialog.res = run_script(params)
File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py", line 361, in run_script return apply(function, params)
File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/plugin-heal-selection.py", line 148, in
heal_selection
pdb.plug_in_resynthesizer(timg, tdrawable, 0,0, useBorder, work_drawable.ID, -1, -1, 0.0, 0.117, 16, 500) error: procedure not found

Calling error for procedure 'gimp-procedural-db-proc-info': Procedure 'plug-in-resynthesizer' not found

This is odd because a gimp 2.9 install with gimp-edge PPA worked just days
ago on LinuxMint 17.3. and because both resynthesizer and resynthesizer-gui
*are* in the plugins directory where they are supposed to be. All files are
owned by me and the execute bit is set.​ *It is doubly odd because I get
the same error with the standard LinuxMint 18.1 repo Gimp version 2.8.16.*

​Anyone have any ideas? I have uninstalled/reinstalled, purged/reinstalled
with no change. Error remains.​

You seem to have done all the obvious - permissions etc.

I assume you are using the Gimp 2.9 profile ~/.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins. Is that correct? There is a deprecated procedure in plugin-heal-selection.py that throws up warnings but it should work.

Where did you get resynthesizer from? Is it the correct flavour 32/64 bit ? Strange that it fails with regular Gimp as well. Does resynthesizer alone show and work: Filters -> Map -> Resynthesize Again is everything in the appropriate Gimp profile.

Do other python plugins work OK?

Do you run Gimp with compatibility mode on? If not try it.

gimp2.9 --pdb-compat-mode=on

I keep a small collection of "2.9 plug-ins" that work for me, includes resynth & heal-selection. Using Kubuntu 16.04 which AFAIK is equivalent to Mint 18. As a long shot you could try that version.
