Package RGtk2 was archived in 2021. The current rattle (5.5.1) does not
depend on it. A direct download is available from rattle's CRAN landing
page. You have not told us what version of rattle you downloaded nor
from where.

I should have said that rattle does not declare a *strict* dependency on
RGtk2. When I try to run rattle() I see
> rattle()
Error in rattle() :
The RGtk2 package is not available but is required.
Please install the package using, for example:
install.packages("RGtk2")
which would have failed.
Maybe you have some non-CRAN version of RGtk2 installed?
rattle's DESCRIPTION does say
Note that RGtk2 and cairoDevice have been archived on CRAN.
See <https://rattle.togaware.com> for installation instructions.
If you followed that, it would be something to take up with the 'rattle'
maintainer.

Seems to me that the downloads marked arm64 should only suck in
arm64-compatible dependencies..
