Hi,
wxwidgets3.0 depends on libwebkitgtk-1.0-0, which is deprecated in
favor of libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37. wxwidgets3.0 should be ported to the
new webkitgtk version so we can remove the old, unmaintained one.
As an intermediate step you can port wxwidgets3.0 to
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, which has a similar API to libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 but
is based on GTK+ 3.0. Thus you'd be porting wxwidgets3.0 to GTK+ 3.0
first, using libwebkitgtk-3.0-0, and you could then port to
libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37 later. But note that libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 is also
deprecated.
Please try to do this before the Stretch release as we're going to
try to remove libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 this cycle.
We'll bump this to serious when the list of rdeps is small and we're
getting ready to removing libwebkitgtk-1.0-0 completely.
If you have any question don't hesitate to ask.
Emilio
