ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Comment 1 Halla Rempt 2022-06-20 12:48:54 UTC

Please report this to Debian or Ubuntu: this is a packaging problem. Note that it is necessary to use a patched version of gmic-qt because upstream is not accepting our patches.

I'm curious, what patches from you have not been accepted?

Halla's referring to your decision re: running G'MIC inside the memory space of the host application, which was later codified in https://github.com/c-koi/gmic-qt/commit/21f3373e701112f7d08e6a0411bf307ae9662cb5 .
