FWIW, I agree with Laura, you're welcome to discuss here when you
have some specific problem that you can attribute to an update we made.
Or when you want to discuss the LTS project in general.
However for user support, when you don't have enough data to pinpoint a
problem down to its source, then it's best to try to get help from a
user list with a larger reader base than here.
Brett, in your specific case, it seems rather unlikely that Gimp being broken
can be attributed to the file or jasper updates. Trying on another
machine (possibly a virtual machine) and/or in a freshly created user
account will give you more clue on whether it's a local problem or
something more important.
Cheers,
