Package: src:gtk+3.0
Version: 3.20.5-1
Severity: serious
Control: affects -1 openjdk-8-jre

I ran into a problem while trying to build a package depending on default-jdk in Unstable.
In my build, I'd get:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 default-jdk : Depends: default-jre (= 2:1.8-57) but it is not going to be installed
               Depends: openjdk-8-jdk but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I traced it back (trying to directly install the failing dependency directly and moving down the chain) and the problem starts when libatk-wrapper-java-jni depends on libgtk-3-0, which can't be installed:

# apt-get install --dry-run libgtk-3-0
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libgtk-3-0 : Depends: libgtk-3-common (>= 3.20.5-1) but it is not installable
              Recommends: libgtk-3-bin but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


then the problem is here:

# apt-get install --dry-run libgtk-3-common
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package libgtk-3-common is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  gtk-3-examples

E: Package 'libgtk-3-common' has no installation candidate


Coulud someone take a look, please?

Many thanks and regards
Afif
