Yes, the tag is preventing mozc from migrating to resolute release.

mozc is the only package in Ubuntu main with a direct dependency on 
libgtk2.0-0t64. gtk2 does show as being unacceptable for NEW things entering 
Ubuntu main:

I was annoyed that this bug has been open for so long (8 years!) so I
took the opportunity to add that tag.

If you want to use Xorg in Ubuntu 26.04, you simply need to use a different 
desktop than GNOME or Budgie. The Debian bug suggests using Xubuntu. You can 
find Xubuntu at

Please see these other Debian bugs:

The Debian maintainer is unable to package a newer version of mozc because it 
apparently needs protobuf 3.25 which has been in Debian experimental for years 
and is not in Ubuntu. The newest version of mozc does not use gtk3, but qt6. In 
addition to the protobuf issue, Debian's (and Ubuntu's) bazel is only at 
version 4 instead of version 7 so it may not be easily possible to build the 
newest mozc.

Could you let me know what you learn about the gtk3 patch? Could you
also let me know if anthy is an acceptable substitute for mozc?

It might be a good idea for us to remove the block-proposed tag for
Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Note that there is a reasonable chance that gtk2 could
be completely removed from Ubuntu 26.10. I suggest that we set a
deadline of Beta Freeze (early on March 23) to decide what we'll do for
26.04 LTS.
