An equivalent glib2.0 change is now in unstable. Unfortunately, GTK 2 and 3 both have an equivalent issue for their input method modules (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065493, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1065494 respectively). I'm proposing to address this in the same way as for glib2.0 with https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gtk2/-/merge_requests/3 and https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gtk3/-/merge_requests/22 respectively (untested, test-builds are in progress). As with glib2.0, I apologise for not having caught this at nmudiff time. gdk-pixbuf and GTK 4 probably have a latent version of the same issue, but have avoided a practical problem during this particular transition by not having any time_t in their ABIs and therefore not needing a rename, so they are presumably not immediately urgent to address. I have not attempted to audit other libraries that have plugins, either inside or outside the GNOME team, for an equivalent problem. smcv
