Ok, let me give a status update of the webkitgtk removal from Debian Testing: $ reverse-depends -r testing src:webkitgtk Reverse-Depends =============== * empathy (for libwebkitgtk-3.0-0) * geary (for libwebkitgtk-3.0-0) * libwebkit1.1-cil (for libwebkitgtk-1.0-0) * libwxgtk-webview3.0-0v5 (for libwebkitgtk-1.0-0) empathy is fixed in unstable but it needs a new upload to probably revert to 3.12.14 so that's several days away from being fixed in testing. geary is fixed in unstable and I expect it to drop off the list in ~ 4 days. libwebkit1.1-cil's last reverse dependency is fixed in unstable so that can be removed from testing in ~4 days. src:webkit-sharp has no reverse-dependencies in testing. That leaves wxwidgets3.0 and its 2 rdepends: boinc and python-wxgtk-webview3.0. python-wxgtk-webview3.0 has no reverse dependencies and I think it sounds like it's going to be dropped now: https://bugs.debian.org/876789 Therefore, the way I see it, boinc/wxwidgets3.0 is the only remaining blocker for removing webkitgtk from Debian Testing.
