Yep, this has been broken since the gimp 2.8 merge.
I'll try to upload a new libgegl that doesn't need libav (not sure I'll have time before the alpha, so anyone can steal this work item from me), or drop gimp from the default install.

I just uploaded a new gegl revision that disables libav support (the previous uploader tried to do that, but forgot that libavformat-dev depends on libavcodec-dev, and so libav support was still enabled).

Please retry with tomorrow's builds if possible, they should work. Thanks.

Excellent! Tested the 20120625 64-bit Alt image and the install now completes without incident.
