Gimp 2.10 Debian library problem

I have succeeded to install gimp 2.10 with the deb-package in sid on two computers. On the third however I get this error:

gimp gimp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgegl-0.4.so.0: undefined symbol: babl_process_rows

How do I find out what is causing the problem. The same gegl and babl-related packages were installed on the problem computer that worked on the others:

wajig list gegl ii libgegl-0.4-0:a 0.4.0-1 amd64 Generic Graphics Library ii libgegl-common 0.4.0-1 all Generic Graphics Library -common f...

wajig list babl

wajig list babl ii libbabl-0.1-0:amd64 0.1.46-2 amd64 Dynamic, any to any, pixel format conversion library ii libbabl-dev:amd64 0.1.46-2 amd64 Dynamic, any to any, pixel format conversion library (development files)

wajig list gimp wajig list gimp
ii gimp 2.10.0-3 amd64 GNU Image Manipulation Program ii gimp-data 2.10.0-3 all Data files for GIMP ii gimp-data-extras 1:2.0.2-1 all Extra brushes and patterns for GIMP ii gimp-python 2.10.0-3 amd64 Python scripting support for GIMP ii libgimp2.0 2.10.0-3 amd64 Libraries for the GNU Image Manipulation Program

I have also installed gimp with flatpak but do not know how to install plugins e.g. the "heal selection" tool to be used there.

In Debian gimp-python provides this but the flatpak version does not "see" it.

Gimp 2.10 Debian library problem (Solved)

gimp: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgegl-0.4.so.0: undefined symbol: babl_process_rows

People from the Debian-user mailing list helped me to solve this one:

"ldd /usr/bin/gimp"" showed that a rogue library of libbabl in /usr/local/ was loaded. Removing that and gimp 2.10 (and gegl) works without a problem.

Something to remember for the future.
