Bleachbit wrongly hiding cleaners

cleaners

Bleachbit is hiding the cleaner for gimp on my machine and I can't figure out why. Gimp is installed ( version 2.8). Bleachbit also says it's hiding the cleaner for MidnightCommander...but when I look in /usr/share/bleachbit/cleaners there is no cleaner for MidnightCommander.

I am running Bleachbit 1.8 on an updated Debian Stretch/Sid.

Thanks

Do you have any files in ~/.gimp-2.8/tmp/ ?

Do you have the files ~/.mc/filepos or ~/.mc/history ?

Did you install BleachBit from the Debian repository or from this web site (the official BleachBit web site)?

No the gimp directory is empty but there is no ~/.mc directory. MC apparently now caches its stuff in ~/.cache/mc
Bleachbit came from the Debian repository but today I installed 1.10 from here. But it acts the same
ignoring the ~/.gimp-2.8/tmp directory and simply telling me it has hidden midnightcommander.
