Source: gnucash Version: 1:2.7.3-1 Severity: normal Dear Dmitry,
Thank you for packaging Gnucash 2.7.3 for Debian, which finally switches from using Gtk 2 to using Gtk 3. As the maintainer of libgwenhywfar in Debian I am interested in this transition because I would like to get rid of its Gtk 2 part in the Debian archive as soon as no package is build-depending on it anymore. Gnucash is the only package that needed to build-depend on libgwengui-gtk2-dev, which represents the Gtk 2 parts of libgwenhywfar. Unfortunately the source package gnucash 1:2.7.3-1 still build-depends on libgwengui-gtk2-dev, even though it doesn't use it (i.e. the resulting binary package doesn't depend on the corresponding binary package libgwengui-gtk2-0). For this reason the Gnucash build falls back to use the embedded copy of the libgwengui-gtk3 source (see directory borrowed/gwengui-gtk3/ in the Gnucash source tree). This is not optimal because almost the same source is built and available packaged in the Debian archive as binary package libgwengui-gtk3-0. For this reason I would appreciate if you could change the build dependencies of Gnucash so that it no longer build-depends on libgwengui-gtk2-dev and instead build-depends on libgwengui-gtk3-dev. This should be sufficient to make the Gnucash build use the separately packaged libgwengui-gtk3 library. Cheers, Micha
