For those who affected - you can downgrade gimp a bit:

apt-cache policy gimp

choose older version and install it (I showing example with exact
versions, your available version may differ):

sudo apt-get install gimp=2.8.16-1ubuntu1.1

Title:
  gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol:
  gegl_param_multiline_get_type

Status in gimp package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On fully up to date 16.10 installs, gimp no longer starts.

  1.  Run 'gimp' from console.
  2.  Console returns:  "gimp: symbol lookup error: gimp: undefined symbol: gegl_param_multiline_get_type" and exits, instead of starting the app.

  The installed package/version of gimp is 2.8.16-1ubuntu3.  Gimp was
  previously working fine on this install, so my guess is the symbol was
  deprecated/removed in a new version of some gegl lib.
