Package: libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
The webkit package should be rebuild
against gtk+ 3.20.0+. It is built against an earlier package I
believe. Causes white selected text and background under Evolution, in
preview pane.
Package: libwebkitgtk-3.0-0
Version: 2.4.11-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After a recent update in the testing channel, Evolution Email suddenly
began selecting all text within teh preview pane as white, against a
white background.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Asked for help, and quickly watched the discussion go well beyond my
understanding... I believe I downloaded source, then rebult, but there
was an error during the rebuild.
* What was the outcome of this action?
No change, but as I said it never finished...
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Would have been nice if Evolution, (latest in testing), stopped
selecting text as white, on a white background.

Hi,

I already explained this, but my mails are censored. However, the sense
of building against the soname is, that there should be no issues, if
backwards-compatibility gets dropped, then the soname should change,
IOW should become GTK4. Dropping backwards-compatibility without
increasing the soname is plain wrong.
"If the interface of a library changes in such a way that the dependent
programs would be broken, the soname would be incremented, e.g. from
libX.so.5 to libX.so.6." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soname .

No, Arch Linux has nothing like that, however, the OP is using Debian
testing.
Arch Linux packages follow releases from upstream, it's a _real_
rolling release. If the soname of a dependency didn't change, then
packages will not be rebuild, unless somebody reports a bug.
Actually there is the above explained reason, that the "NEEDED" lib is
libgtk-3.so.0, against what ever dot release it was linked at build
time.
If it was build against 3.18, nothing should break when 3.20 is
provided at runtime.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ objdump -p /usr/lib/libwebkitgtk-3.0.so |
grep libgtk
NEEDED libgtk-3.so.0
Arch packages usually don't provide release information for the
dependencies, for the above explained reason.
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ grep epend /var/abs/extra/webkitgtk/PKGBUILD
depends=(libxt libxslt sqlite libsoup enchant libgl geoclue2 gst-
plugins-base-libs
makedepends=(gtk3 gtk2 gperf gobject-introspection python2 mesa ruby)
optdepends=('gst-plugins-base: free media decoding'
depends+=(gtk3)
optdepends+=('gtk2: Netscape plugin support')
depends+=(gtk2)
Debian and Ubuntu come with the Debian tracker.
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/webkit2gtk
"libgtk-3-dev (>= 3.20.0)" -
https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/w/webkit2gtk/control-2.12.2-1
IOW the current version in testing _is_ build against 3.20. The OP
mentioned to use 2.4.11-1 yesterday, so the OP today should run
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Regards,
Ralf

It is already being built, but there's a problem with the gtk+3
package that is delaying the process. You can see the progress here:
