In the bug reported for Ubuntu bionic (lp:#1762432) there are three packages installed:
- libwxgtk3.0-0v5:amd64 (wxWidgets/GTK2) - libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5 (wxWidgets/GTK3) - python-wxgtk3.0 (wxPython/GTK3) My guess is that some applications may depend on wxWidgets/GTK2, and wxWidgets/GTK3 is simply installed as a dependency of wxPython/GTK3.
