Bug#946018: opencpn: FTBFS due to trying to use removed wx GTK2 flavour

Source: opencpn
Version: 4.8.8+dfsg.2-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

opencpn build-depends on libwxgtk3.0-dev, but that's been dropped
(there are still some crufty remnants in unstable, but libwxgtk3.0-dev
is no longer built by the wxwidgets3.0 source package, and isn't
installable in unstable).

The removal happened while opencpn was in NEW, so it's never built
since being accepted, hence the grace severity - as-is this package is
not usable by anyone simply because there's no build of it to install!

As well as updating libwxgtk3.0-dev to libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev, the
B-D on libgtk2.0-dev will need updating to libgtk-3-dev.  I suspect
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev will too.  There may also be code changes needed
to update for API changes between GTK2 and GTK3 if opencpn upstream
isn't GTK3 ready.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Cheers,
    Olly
