Problem in package. package has broken
Hi Mahendra,
What error are you getting?
It looks as if the problem may be that the package libopenexr23 has changed its name to libopenexr24 which is installed on my system. It is needed by libgegl which is needed by libgimp2.0. It appears that some dependencies may need to be fixed but they may not be under your control.
