I always see people connected to the IT world insisting that users should keep their systems up to date. So, when Mageia itself notifies<snip>
me to update the system, I have no doubt and proceed with the update.
Recently, GIMP on Mageia 9 was updated to version 3. It was
distressing when I tried to use it for my routine tasks. It simply did
not work the way I was already used to.
In Mageia Control Center (MCC), there is an option for GIMP 2.10, but it depends on libraries that are no longer available.

On Mageia 9 ... $ urpmq -i gimp|grep ^Source|sort -uV Source RPM : gimp-2.10.34-1.mga9.src.rpm Source RPM :
gimp-2.10.36-1.mga9.src.rpm
Mageia 10, which just started qa iso testing has
gimp-3.0.6-2.mga10.src.rpm
Is this a cauldron install or a Mageia 9 install?

Mageia 9 works better for me. I felt distressed when GIMP was updated to the new version and I could no longer perform my tasks.

The bdk part of the package version indicates it is not a Mageia
package, it's a blogdrake package.
Most likely one of the blogdrake packages has a version specific
requires that is not compatible with the Mageia version of gimp.
You would need to disable the blogdrake repositories, uninstall the
blogdrake version of gimp and any leftover orphans, then install
the Mageia version of gimp.
If that fails, post the output of "urpmi gimp" run as root.
