Gparted not starting in my installed ubuntu 18.04 system

Question

I tried running at command line by "sudo gparted" but in vain. The error message is

--Unit -.mount does not exist, proceeding anyway.
/usr/sbin/gpartedbin: error while loading shared libraries: libgtkmm-2.4.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Have you tried to install gparted first ? sudo apt install gparted — Soren A, Jan 25 '19 at 22:40
Install one of the packages you see with the terminal command apt-cache search libgtkmm* — waltinator, Jan 25 '19 at 22:46

I had the same problem. I tried to reinstall libgtkmm but there were more broken libs, so I had to reinstall all of them:

sudo apt install --reinstall libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 libpangomm-1.4-1v5 libglibmm-2.4-1v5 libsigc++-2.0-0v5 libcairomm-1.0-1v5

And it works fine now.
