    Hello, I recently did a wipe and reinstalled Debian 12.
    One issue I'm having is, I can no longer install gimp, it seems to be
    missing from the repos.
    Only thing I can find in the repos is gimp-help etc.

    Please reply back.
    thanks

    Exactly what did you do? I installed Debian 12 Xfce4 desktop version
    six days ago, and Gimp was installed with it. I don't see any reports
    about it in the last week.

    Hi,


    Does anyone know who/how/why Gimp was removed from testing?


    I found the links below, but to me they don't explain any valid
    reasons or how this decision was made (automated or by human) ?


    So curious how such a well known package becomes removed. And wonder
    how it will be available when Stable is released.

    Gimp was removed from testing on 2024-09-25[1] due to the ongoing transition.  See [2] for more details.

    I think you can enable sid (if only temporarily) and install it from
    there.

    The original poster specified Debian 12, not testing. Wherefore the
    following is dangerous advice.

    Curiouser and curiouser.

    root@issola:/# apt-cache search gimp | sort | grep -E '^gimp '
    gimp - GNU Image Manipulation Program
    root@issola:/#

    So it's definitely there. Which leads me to wonder: have you done an
    "apt update" lately?

    I also wonder what your /etc/apt/sources.list looks like. Mine (beware
    of wrapping):

    root@issola:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
    #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 12.2.0 _Bookworm_ - Official amd64 NETINST with firmware 20231007-10:28]/ bookworm main non-free-firmware

    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
    # deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

    deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
    # deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bookworm-security main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

    # bookworm-updates, to get updates before a point release is made;
    # see https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html#_updates_and_backports
    deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
    # deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm-updates main contrib non-free non-free-firmware

    # This system was installed using small removable media
    # (e.g. netinst, live or single CD). The matching "deb cdrom"
    # entries were disabled at the end of the installation process.
    # For information about how to configure apt package sources,
    # see the sources.list(5) manual.
