I ran the command as you requested but I had already removed GIMP so no result was forthcoming. The ppa I refer to is the one which Ubuntu uses as I installed via Discover (Kubuntu). I also tried the flatpack version which did not work as I was missing some dependency. I have tried to install also from links from the GIMP web page.

Contrary to your advice I installed GIMP and reran the command, I hope this provided the information you were after.
