GIMP dependency libmypaint will soon not work in debian testing
While updating the dependencies in the docker image to resolve build dependency issues with https://build.gimp.org/ I found that libmypaint does not build with a default install of the automake
package (automake-1,16
). The libmypaint build process throws an error that it couldn't find automake and even suggested the version installed might be too new.
I had to install automake-1.15
(along side automake-1.16) in order to get libmypaint build to succeed.
Because libmypaint depends on the oldest available automake package in debian testing I worry about GIMP being able to build if that dependency should ever be deprecated and removed from the repository.
