Details

Description:
Python compatibility got disabled since version 2.10.18-3 (currently 2.10.18-5, problem still present), so python scripts don't work.

Additional info:
* 2.10.18-3 to 2.10.18-5 (current)
* /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python doesn't exist anymore

Steps to reproduce:
Uninstall GIMP and configuration files [pacman -Rn gimp]. Reinstall using [pacman -S gimp]. See how all efforts to install python scripts are futile.

Attempted solutions:
* Uninstall GIMP and configuration files [pacman -Rn gimp] and install last working version 2.10.18-2 [pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gimp/gimp-2.10.18-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst] doesn't work as libmypaint got updated to 1.5 from 1.4 making it crash.
Creating a Symlink seems to work: ln -s /usr/lib/libmypaint.so /usr/lib/libmypaint-1.4.so.0
This task depends upon

Actually, this seems to be intentional: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/gimp&id=e354374dae38ae90953218bb2fc3275ba77a9f11

No reason is given, so I would appreciate some insight as many useful and widely used plugins (like Heal-Selection) are python scripts.
