Package: gimp Version: 2.10.22-4 Followup-For: Bug #872419 i experienced the same issue, and found that this is caused by not having librsvg2-common installed. gimp depends on librsvg2-2, but librsvg2-2 merrily recommends librsvg2-common. i disabled installation of recommended packages on my system.
i can't tell if this is the intended behaviour when disabling recommends. but i guess it should be considered to have gimp depend on librsvg2-common. it seems that gimp depends on librsvg2-2, expecing to use it to render svg icons, but what gimp _actually_ requires is gdk-pixbuf-2.0/*/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so which is in librsvg2-common. (gimp executes fine without librsvg2-2 - except for the icons.)
