Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
I installed the packages krita, krita-gmic and gmic on Debian Bookworm

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
In Krita, I created a document with some text, flattened it and went to
"Filter" -> "Start G'MIC-Qt"

   * What was the outcome of this action?
I got the error message: "The GMic Plugin is not installed or could not be
loaded".

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
successful start of the G'MIC plugin

According to this post:
https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/blob/master/README.packagers.md , the
way Krita and G'MIC interact has changed with Krita 5.x, and it now uses a
forked version of G'MIC. This also makes the current krita-gmic package
obsolete. We will probably need a new plugin package made from the forked G'MIC
version.

Kind regards,
Kay
