Dear all, Dunno if this is the right place to discuss it or not. Integri asked hence sharing.
There is also another package synaptic which still uses libgtk2-removal. $ aptitude why libgtk2-perl i task-mate-desktop Recommends synaptic i A synaptic Recommends libgtk2-perl (>= 1:1.130) I looked in the tracker and there doesn't seem to be any movement about syanptic. I looked at launchpad.net and saw that the last release they made in 2017. So there seems to be 2-3 things which can be done. a. Have synaptic be removed from the debian archive and have mate-desktop use some other alternative for a GUI package manager. b. Have synaptic rebuilt using libgtk3-perl and bump up the synaptic version. 3. Remove syanptic and whenever upgrading use --without-recommends so synaptic doesn't get pulled in in apt and others. I would prefer b. and then a. if not possible. I did see that on popcon.debian.org synaptic does have a fair pull although dunno whether it is due to the fact that it gets pulled via task-mate-desktop or people download it. https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=synaptic Looking forward to see whatever solution fo the problem is taken up. Best of luck to those who are tackling it. Thank you for the work in removing libgtk2-perl . -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com E493 D466 6D67 59F5 1FD0 930F 870E 9A5B 5869 609C
