All,

The latest update to libfm-gtk2 renames it libfm-gtk3 but make is conflict with existing libfm-gtk2.

The libfm-gtk2 package included both gtk2 and gtk3 file manager builds. Now we are left with only gtk3. It was quite convenient for old apps that use the gtk2 functionality.

Why did the gtk2 build get dropped? It was working quite nicely with the gtk3 filemanager files, posed no conflict and no additional work. Yes, it's old, but so are a lot of things that work quite well. If there weren't build failures, what was the reason behind the change?
