I'm afraid I don't get what you mean. Those packages should be ported or removed from the archive together with gtk+. There was already a proposal to move that kind of packages to some other repo outside the main debian mirrors so that anyone could pick them up. And no, I'm not talking about snapshots.d.n/o, although that may work as well. > > Cripes I have been fighting for months for gnome-libs and imlib which > have a handful of r(b)depends between the two.
