Hi George, As far as I'm concerned, Unico itself isn't even a theme - it's an engine that theme authors can borrow from. I don't think it has any reverse dependencies in Debian, but various themes in Ubuntu (where the package originates) have it listed as a dependency or used to.
Perhaps I should inquire with upstream on what exactly still uses Unico in the coming days. ---- gl@millennium:~$ reverse-depends gtk3-engines-unico -r xenial Reverse-Depends =============== * lubuntu-artwork-11-10 * lubuntu-artwork-12-04 * lubuntu-artwork-12-10 * lubuntu-artwork-13-04 * lubuntu-artwork-13-10 * lubuntu-artwork-14-04 * lubuntu-artwork-14-10 * lubuntu-artwork-15-04 * lubuntu-artwork-15-10 * lubuntu-artwork-16-04 * mythbuntu-default-settings Packages without architectures listed are reverse-dependencies in: amd64, arm64, armhf, i386, powerpc, ppc64el, s390x gl@millennium:~$ reverse-depends gtk3-engines-unico -r sid No reverse dependencies found Best, James On 03/05/2016 8:19 AM, George B. wrote: > Hi James, > > On 30/04/16 06:13, James Lu wrote: >> Since newer GTK versions have already made it into the archive, does >> that mean that this package no longer serves any purpose? > > It would appear so - oxygen-gtk3 package was removed for the same > reason.[1] > >> From what I >> can tell, GTK3 engines for Breeze and Xfce still exist elsewhere in the >> archive: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=gtk3-engines- > > Breeze was actually ported to CSS - I have already filed a bug with a > request to rename the package to avoid confusion.[2] > > The Xfce package contains a mix of partially converted and broken > themes.
