Bug Description

When starting GIMP, messages similar to this are shown in the console:

---
GIMP-Error: Unable to run plug-in "plugin-resynth-sharpen.py"
(/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/plugin-resynth-sharpen.py)

Failed to execute child process “python” (No such file or directory)
---

This message is repeated for each python file in /usr/lib/gimp-2.0/plugins, and none of the plugins for which this error shows appear in the GIMP menus.

The problem is fixed after installing gimp-python

As described in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=907539 , installing gimp-python solves the problem.

It looks like this can be fixed by adding a dependency from gimp-plugin-registry to gimp-python.

The gimp-python needs to be a dependency, please fix it.
