[Gimp-user] runtime error while executing gimp_edit_paste

[Helmut Jarausch <jarausch skynet be>]

Hi,

I'm trying to get an old Python-Fu script (feca_hdr.py) for the  
creation of an HDR-photo running under current gimp (GIT).
Currently I'm stuck at

  File "/home/jarausch/.config/GIMP/2.9/plug-ins/feca_hdr.py", line  
227, in python_feca_hdr
    floating_sel = pdb.gimp_edit_paste(mask_dark, 0)
RuntimeError: execution error


This is within the following context


        pdb.gimp_edit_copy(layer_two)
        floating_sel = pdb.gimp_edit_paste(mask_dark, 0)

What could be the reason for this and how can one debug this?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
