It is now the only package that depends on libglademm2.4: smcv@coccia ~ % dak rm -R -n libglademm2.4 ... Checking reverse dependencies... # Broken Depends: aeskulap: aeskulap # Broken Build-Depends: aeskulap: libglademm-2.4-dev so porting it from libglade('s C++ bindings) to GtkBuilder would have a disproportionate impact on the number of unmaintained libraries needed in the archive. libglade was superseded by GtkBuilder in GTK 2.12, released in 2007. Moving from libglade to GtkBuilder would be a good first step towards replacing GTK 2 with GTK 3. A porting guide is provided in the GTK 2 documentation: https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/gtk-migrating-GtkBuilder.html smcv
