Hi Gerd, Debian is currently transitioning to a world without GTK2 libraries, and this includes the VTE libraries. It appears that gamt does depend on VTE libraries that the Debian Gnome maintainers would like to remove in favor of their GTK3 versions.
Do you still work on gamt/amtterm? If so, maybe you could have a look at porting the package?

You need to build-depend on libvte-2.91-dev and libgtk-3-dev, check for their new .pc file names (gtk+-3.0, vte-2.91) in GNUMakefile, and port your app as necessary. I'm not sure how much Vte has changed. For GTK+, there are some guides: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html https://developer.gnome.org/Gnome3PortingGuide/ > Also, is the new vte version API compatible? If not, is there a porting guide? See above. If you have trouble finding the replacement for a specific method/class, I can look for it or ask upstream.
