Bug description:
Ubuntu 17.10 still requires gtk2
-------------------------------------------------------
sudo apt remove libgtk2.0-0
The following packages will be REMOVED:
firefox* gnome-session-canberra* gtk2-engines-murrine* ibus-gtk*
kerneloops-applet* libcanberra-gtk-module* libcanberra-gtk0* libgail-common*
libgail18* libgtk2-perl* libgtk2.0-0* libgtk2.0-bin* light-themes* thunderbird*
thunderbird-gnome-support* thunderbird-locale-en* thunderbird-locale-en-us*
ubuntu-artwork* ubuntu-desktop*
Proposal for 18.04
-------------------------
1. DONE: Don't have webkit2 recommend the gtk2 support.
2. NOT NEEDED: Split the gtk2 part of light-themes to a separate package.
3. DONE: Use a dh_shlibdeps hack to drop the libgtk2.0-0 dependency from
these GTK2 addons:
a. DONE: gnome-themes-standard
b. DONE: gtk2-engines-murrine
c. DONE: gtk2-engines-pixbuf (not in default install but installed by
vanilla gnome-session)
d. DONE: ibus-gtk
4. DONE: Drop gnome-session-canberra's unnecessary manual dependency
on libcanberra-gtk0
5. PROPOSED: Either disable Flash in Thunderbird or apply the dh_shblideps
hack from Firefox. Either way probably needs Thunderbird Beta, but Thunderbird
59 should be stable or close it to by 18.04 release.
6. DONE in Firefox 58 Beta: Apply the dh_shlibdeps hack to Firefox
7. IN PROGRESS: Prepare a debconf-gtk3 backend and switch gnome-
software and software-properties-gtk to use it (LP: #1736618)
8. DONE: Demote kerneloops dependency on kerneloops-applet to
Suggests.
9. IN PROGRESS: Don't have ubuntu-desktop or gnome-orca recommend
libgail-common. It's a gtk2 library (basically) that gtk2 already
recommends.
10: optional: Apply the dh_shlibdeps hack to the gtk2 modules and
theme engines that aren't in main.
Original Bug Report
---------------------------
I can't remove GTK2 from my system, because parts of GNOME still require it.
