This package Build-Depends on packages from src:gtkmm2.4, a C++ binding for
GTK 2. GTK 2 was superseded by GTK 3 in 2011 (see
<https://bugs.debian.org/947713>). It has been discontinued by its upstream
developer and no longer receives any upstream maintenance at all.

The direct replacement for gtkmm2.4 is gtkmm3.0, a C++ API for GTK 3.
Please see <https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/gtkmm/PortingToGtkmm3> for
information about porting from gtkmm2.4 to gtkmm3.0, and
<https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/migrating-2to3.html> for general information
about porting from GTK 2 to GTK 3.

Thanks,
    smcv
