Re: [orca-list] installing GTK4 == breaking stuff

[Jason White <jason jasonjgw net>]

Did you install it from a package, or compile it yourself?

I would expect removing a package to be enough to revert whatever is 
necessary, unless a maintiner script was run during the package 
installation - in which case, I would suggest reporting that as a bug.

My only recommendation would be to run Web searches based on the error 
messages that you're getting.
