All version 2.x.x are phasing out (even though 2.9.9 is the latest stable, you will not have the latest bug fixes even if you update the filters)
I'm afraid that I'm not a very "apt-get" type of person, and that may be part of the problem. Using the Synaptic package manager for updates, the only Gmic for Gimp offered is version 2.9.4 And I've seen you suggesting version 2.9.9 to others...I'm not even seeing that offered in the repositories polled by Synaptic so My problem likely has roots in that regard.
However, the same version of Gmic seems to be working for me under Krita, in the very same Linux distribution, as well as in a very old Windows install.....so the disfunction I'm experiencing via Gimp/Knoppix has me scratching my head a bit.
And, just to belabor the point....suppose that I am using the"gradient from line" function of Gmic. I trace the line, give it a name, and hit the "apply" button...everything is fine...gradient shows up in Gimp with a simple refresh.
But if I hit the "OK" button, Gmic exits normally, but frequently leaving Gimp completely unresponsive...requiring a forcible closure.
Oddly, if in the above scenario..... after naming the created gradient, suppose I just hit "OK" and not touch "Apply" at all. The created gradient is satisfactorily saved to the default gimp/2.10/gradient folder, even though gimp will be locked up tight after Gmic closes.
That suggests to me that Gmic must be satisfactorily concluding it's mission, or the created file would not be saved?
