Public bug reported:

rust-gtk (the GTK3 library) is no longer maintained upstream. It is
causing difficulty in updating to the latest version of the Rust GTK
library stack (associated with GNOME 46) because we would need to be
responsible to porting the libraries to the latest rust-glib etc.
ourselves.

There are almost no maintained apps using the old rust-gtk. In Debian,
those few apps will probably vendor rust-gtk, but we are out of time for
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Therefore, please remove these packages from Ubuntu:

rust-atk
rust-atk-sys
rust-gdk-sys
rust-gdkx11
rust-gdkx11-sys
rust-gdk
rust-gtk3-macros
rust-gtk
rust-gtk-sys
rust-gtk-layer-shell-sys
qwertone
squeekboard (Despite its name, I'm told that phosh-osk-stub is actually a 
better mobile on-screen keyboard)
