Post gimp libexif9 problem


hello,
I want to install the Gimp with apt-get on debian Sid
When doing "apt-get install gimp" I get the following

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gimp: Depends: libexif9 but it is not installable
E: Broken packages


and an explanation that I am using debian unstable and should file a bug report ...

Is this a temporary problem with the debian sid, or can I do something to fix it (or have it fixed)? I had to reinstall my sytem (to change my HD partitioning), have been unsing debian sid and the gimp (new version) before the reinstall without a problem.

many thanks!

joachim

Talking

problem fixed!

this was on packages.debian.org:
libexif9 [i386]
Package not available


this package, on wich gimp seems to depend, is only available in debian 'testing' sarge...
so I got the libexif9.deb from the testing distribution and installed it with dpkg -i

after that installed the gimp with out a problem!
should I report this problem or is it normal with the testing distro that such things happen? I don't want to bother the debian guys if it isn't necessary.
