gtk4 dependency removed
There are two packages in EasyOS 6.0.4 that depend on 'gtk4', but it isn't installed.
Package 'geany-plugins' requires the gtk4 version of vte, the virtual terminal emulator. Easy has the 'vte' package, although gtk4 is missing. However, Easy also has 'vte9', a dependency of 'sakura' and that only requires gtk+2.
I recompiled 'geany-plugins' in OE to use vte9. Great, have now
removed the 'vte' package from Easy. Geany itself uses gtk+3, so
hope there is no objection to a plugin using gtk+2.
Easy has packages 'gcr' which requires gtk4 and 'gcr3' which requires gtk+3. Package 'networkmanager-applet' requires 'gcr3', nothing requires 'gcr', so I have removed the latter.
Good, no requirements for gtk4. This is good, removing a couple
of packages, as the 'easy-6.0.2-amd64.img' file is bursting at the
seams. It is 905MiB and I don't want to make the download bigger.
Now, there is some free space, could consider adding another app
-- maybe not.
