There's no "upgrade process". apt upgrades packages, and if you didn't have
-gtk or -gtk2 installed before, apt can't know that it should install -gtk2
And as said, if you have -gtk3 installed, even if -gtk2 is there, too,
it takes precedence, so..

How useful without dates.. ;)
But good to know.

Only when that happened. But I will revert the patch anyway, as it apparently
didn't help.

That might explain why you git the bug status wrong ;)
