Alright, so it looks like it's just an outdated package instead, since json-c is installed, but libjson-c.so.4 is provided, not libjson-c.so.3

/usr/lib/libjson-c.so.4 is owned by json-c 0.13.1-1
Edit:
From lddtree /usr/bin/gimp
....
libmypaint-1.3.so.0 => /usr/lib/libmypaint-1.3.so.0
libjson-c.so.4 => /usr/lib/libjson-c.so.4
No reference to libjson-c.so.3 some custom package need rebuilding?
