After my latest upgrade I now have a layered GIMP package (in addition to the one I already had installed from the fedora remote) and also I noticed a bunch of other added packages including things like the GTK2 version of Adwaita. I accidentally upgraded while using my work network, so I’m not sure if it could be related or not… anyone else seeing this after their most recent upgrade?
Yes, I also saw this, and others have mentioned it on the #silverblue
IRC channel, so I guess it’s something that’s accidentally slipped into today’s build.
Not me, but I use the Gimp flatpak, it works great! As for some packaging with relationship to GTK2 would likely have to do with the inevitable adoption of GTK3.
I saw the additional packages yesterday too, but today’s update solved it.
I also use the GIMP flatpak; there’s no real need to overlay it anymore, unless you need an extension not already flatpak’d. But there are a bunch of the best ones already available in Flatpak.

Just install it like this in a terminal:

Add whatever ones you want to the same command line to install many at once.
Yeah it seems they removed all those installed packages a day or two later. No harm, no foul.
