ubuntu 20.04 - 4 x dependencies no longer in repository

Post by Baldrick »

Hi All,
Been years since I have posted on these forums......
Just updated my laptop with a nice little nvme drive and installed dual boot win10 and Ubuntu 20.04.
I have PB 5.73 LTS (Linux - x64) installed now and all seems to be working fine. I did encounter from the install check script 4 x dependency packages which no longer exist in Ubuntu 20.04
The 4 unmet dependencies are: ( no longer in Apt repository after Ubuntu 18.04 )
libgnome2-dev
libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev
libwebkitgtk-dev
libwebkitgtk-3.0-dev
Again, all seems to be working fine and I really do very little coding these days.
Just wondering if any1 else has encountered this? and if so, how they resolved the issue?
Also I guess, Do I really need these dependency packages? ( My guess is I will eventually encounter some error which will have me tearing my hair out because I had long since forgotten about this if I don't sort it now while it is fresh in my mind!)

The library libgome has not been used for a long time.

The WebKit is required for the WebGadget. Unfortunately the WebGadget is not updated yet and we are waiting for an update from Fred.
But with the SubSystem "QT" WebGadget works if you need it.

Thanks Mk-soft.
Seems to have been quite a few of these with the 20.04 iteration.
A lot them do seem to have work arounds that I have run into so far.
E.g. python-is-python3
No doubt it will all fall into place over time and as I say, I do very little coding these days, so am in no rush.
