The icon had disappeared in the Launcher, I tried to launch the program from the Unity dash, and then with the terminal.

Also happening to me. I uninstalled GIMP 2.10 via snap, as it was crashing when I tried to start it. Then get a similar error when attempting to install again.

I decided to reinstall Gimp but I can't install Gimp after uninstall.
