Title: Regression: GNOME-specific interfaces not available in main Status in xdg-desktop-portal-gtk package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: Historically, xdg-desktop-portal-gtk had two roles: * Generic GTK implementations of various interfaces, suitable for all GTK desktops (GNOME, XFCE, etc.) and also as a fallback implementation for desktops that do not have something more "native". Interfaces: Access, Account, AppChooser, Email, FileChooser, Inhibit, Lockdown, Notification, Print, Settings. * GNOME-specific implementations of various interfaces, suitable for GNOME Shell only (and maaaaybe Budgie, but not XFCE, MATE or Cinnamon because they do not use gnome-settings-daemon or a libmutter-based compositor). Interfaces: Background, Remote Desktop, Screencast, Screenshot, Wallpaper. In 1.10.0-2, these roles were separated: * Generic GTK stuff is still in x-d-p-gtk * GNOME-specific functionality has moved to x-d-p-gnome, a separate source package, which is installed by the gnome-core metapackage in Debian In Ubuntu, x-d-p-gtk is in main but x-d-p-gnome is in universe (and presumably not installed by default). This means that users of Snap and Flatpak apps will not have access to the affected interfaces via xdg-desktop-portal any more, which is a regression, particularly if using native Wayland rather than X11. There are two possible solutions to this: 1. Move x-d-p-gnome to main, and install it by default (in any installation that has GNOME Shell). GNOME upstream consider it to be part of a complete GNOME desktop. This is the long-term solution. 2. Patch x-d-p-gtk to reinstate the build-dependencies that were disabled in 1.10.0-2, and re-enable them in d/rules. This provides an older version of these interfaces, which is no longer routinely tested by upstream or Debian. This solution will probably stop working in a future release when these interfaces are removed completely. I would recommend the first solution for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. I am probably going to use the second solution in Debian bullseye- backports, and if Ubuntu people want to maintain a backport of x-d-p- gtk to older suites like focal, it's probably the right thing to do for those too.
