Sorry, but, as FPC maintaining team member, I don't share this __ should __ statement for the following reasons. * GTK2 is declared as deprecated in Debian since long time ago. * Technically, Lazarus doe snot need libgtk2.0-dev for running, and thus should not pull it. * Technically, FPC does not need any GTK related lib, it only provide binding units. So it should not pull it either. * For building, Lazarus build depends on libgtk2.0-dev, until it will migrate to gtk3. And so shall do all programs that use it. I hope this makes it clear, why neither Lazarus, nor FPC or any of their packages should pull libgtk2.0-dev package. You should handle this bug in VMG, and probably the best way to do it is to build depend on libgtk-2.0-dev until you fix https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=967798 -- Cheers, Abou Al Montacir
