Severity: normal
Hi Andrej!
This package depends on libgtk2-perl, that I intend to remove from
testing soon (now that Buster was released), and then from sid at some
later point during the Bullseye development cycle:
https://bugs.debian.org/912860
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=gtk2-removal;users=debian-perl@lists.debian.org
This is part of a broader effort to remove GTK 2 from Debian,
as announced last November:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/11/msg00570.html
Please get in touch with the upstream project and suggest they port
this application to libgtk3-perl. I've personally ported a couple Perl
GTK+ apps from 2.x to 3.x and it's rather straightforward.
Upstream for the GTK+ 3 and GObject Introspection Perl bindings is
responsive and happy to add missing bits to the bindings.
Cheers!
