Error Adding Brushes

I am trying to add some Photoshop brushes to GIMP. Most added just fine, but a couple did not. I am getting the following errors: Failed to Load Data:
Error loading '/home/username/.config/GIMP/2.10/brushes/concept.abr': Unable to decode abr format version 10. Failed to Load Data:

Error loading '/home/username/.config/GIMP/2.10/brushes/megapack.abr': Unable to decode abr format version 10. These brushes worked fine on my computer when I was running Windows. But now that I am running Linux, I am getting these two errors. I also did this on my other Linux computers and got the same results. I downloaded the brushes from I am not sure if there is anything to be done, but I am just asking just in case this can be fixed.

Supporting more file format versions of ABR is a known feature request. We have a quick fix that we haven't applied yet. We need to review it, and if it's good enough, this will make it to the next release.

Meanwhile, you can use a Windows program called abrMate to convert to an old version of the file format.

The quick fix is now applied and tested. To be available in version 2.10.16.
