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

[Zahari Yurukov <zahari yurukov gmail com>]

Yeah, I installed it from the Fedora Package Repository. I tried
searching, but without definite results. I did a clean install now,
since I had other things not working as expected as well, do to 5
years upgrading and installing different things from different
sources. I won't digg it further for now, but let everyone be warned -
don't install GTK4, cause you might have problems, and it's not
accessible anyway.
