@bigrock That is simply not true. This bug report as well as #1780683 (a
duplicate of this bug) shows the installation media as 'Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
"Bionic Beaver"', which indicates these are fresh installs.

The bug is in the erroneous packaging of the GIMP 2.10 package in the
PPA used.  It is a packaging conflict with the gimp-plugin-registry
package in the repo which is happening when not removed prior to
installing the package via the PPA referenced here:
https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2018/05/gimp-2-10-ubuntu-download

Basically, people aren't following the instruction to uninstall GIMP 2.8
prior to installing GIMP 2.10, which the PPA owner could easily force by
including the lines in the debian/control file I mentioned in comment #3
above. Unfortunately, there's no way to file a bug against the package
in the PPA which is the real culprit here.

This is NOT a bug with the gimp-plugin-registry package in Ubuntu, but a
package conflict with an unsupported package.
