i am on testing. How long is temporary? For me is this bug PERMANENT
since 2016-07-22 :-(, and affect more of my daily tools, some of them
make segfault (caja), other hang(meld) etc. This is a serious bug!

If the maintainer from libgtk-3 is not a script, than i found he/she
should also use some programs who uste libgtk-3 to  make some tests. The
maintainer is not obligated to accept all the changes comming from
upstream! He/she is the filter, firewall, protector of debian, whith one
word The Maintainer and not a simple packetizer.

Linked libraries must be backward compatible, thath is a fact. If this
is not so, a new library is needed for the incompatible library, who not
affect existing programs. This is a reasonable way to give a chance for
all the software who use the old library to make the migration to the
inconpatible new library. Or have some one a reasonable way to solwe
such problems?

Thx, no more comment to this bug.
