The test failure was that it was looking for the gimp executable in '/usr/bin/gimp-2.10.18' where Debian Buster has no minor version number appended. Changing the value to '/usr/bin/gimp-2.10' manually caused it to pass.

> Hello,
>
> I'm having difficulty compiling Alien::GIMP 0.08 for GIMP 2.10.18. Makefile.PL dies with the message 'Need GIMP version at least 2.8.0.'

> I've attached a version of common.pl that got me over that step.

> After that, make test fails with:
>
> t/methods.t .. 1/?
> # Failed test 'gimp executable'
> # at t/methods.t line 9.
> # Looks like you failed 1 test of 4.
>
> I haven't had time to investigate further.
