A common cause for symbol lookup errors is locally installed libraries
not under dpkg control. Start by running "ldd /usr/bin/gimp" and watch
for anything unusual, such as libraries under /usr/local.

Previous reports of your problem have been #896091 and #897226, but
those were due to having libbabl-0.1-0 from dmo installed. Apparently
this is not the case on your system.
