A rather belated reply. But in case somebody's still trying to
wrestle with Gimp1.2: I managed to install Ximian Gimp using just the
packages for gimp1.2 and libgimp1.2 plus the version of libgtkxmhtml1
generated from building the sid source for gnome-libs1.2.8.
I have some doubts however over my installation, as the output below
shows. Why is "gimp1.2" still described as "Developers' release"? Did
Ximian really use the final 1.2 sources?
debian:~$ dpkg -l | grep "gimp1.2"
ii gimp1.2 1.2.0-0potato1 Developers' release of the GNU
Image Manipul
ii libgimp1.2 1.2.0-0potato1 Developers' release of libraries
necessary
debian:~$ dpkg -l | grep "libgtkxmhtml"
ii libgtkxmhtml1 1.2.8-3 The Gnome gtkxmhtml (HTML) widget
