smxi is allowing gimp to update without gimp-data (shouldn't there be a version mis-match check in smxi?). I'm not risking it but putting gimp / gimp-data on hold manually.

there is a version mismatch check, but it has two levels, the full, including debian maintainer sub version, and the standard, not including debian maintainer sub version.
I currently am using as default for all hold/install tests the standard until I receive a report that the sub version number test is required.
There does not appear to be any problem with gimp at this point, I just did a trial of it. gimp-data does not appear to be a dependency for this update, because it's a subversion only update.
Your concern is apparently unwarranted. |

So then its possible that Gimp had a minor update that did not affect its deps at all. So if the update to a package is minor, then it should not always break the deps...correct? |

correct, we determine this on a package group by package group basis, I start all groups out as using only primary package version, then only if it proves the dependencies are too restrictive, and require debian maintainer sub version as well, do I move them into the full version number testing.
This case is actually a good example of why I prefer to do it this way, gimp would get hold with full testing, and doesn't need to be held, whereas it now gets updated fine. |

Thanks for the reassurance! This must be a first for a minor gimp update! I'm relying on it for 300 wedding photos at the moment . . . . |
