<p>Thanks Peter. I think the best way to handle it is to drop the
fp-units-gtk2 package completely. Leave its files back in the RTL.
It simplifies the process of taking a new release (if we ever get
a new release). Using those files as a tool to bring in gtk2 was
always inappropriate IMHO.</p>
<p>You may feel more comfortable renaming the directory, at least
that will stop someone else also thinking they are the key to
gtk2. They are not.</p>
<p>Love the teams work. </p>

Abou, thanks heaps for what you are doing here but I am afraid
it may not make the problem go away.

By changing the dependency of the [fpc]/packages/gtk2 on gtk2,
yes, its acceptable to Debian.
<br>
<br>
However, it will not, now, build Lazarus using (eg) Qt6 because
the fp-unit-gtk2 is no longer a dependency of fpc.. The other
widget sets make use of cairocanvas (and pango, pangocairo) and
they depend on FPC units that live (for what ever reason) in
that same packages/gtk2 directory. They are not gtk2 packages
and don't themselves depend on gtk2, are widely used elsewhere.

Hi David,
<br>
<br>
Thanks for reporting this. I plan to revert that bit over the
weekend.
<br>
Dropping the depends on fp-unit-gtk2 seemed a good idea at the
time,
<br>
but dropping the depends on libgtk2.0-dev was the only change that
was really needed.
<br>
<br>
Cheers,
<br>
Peter
