Did you build GTK4 locally on your computer a while ago?
libadwaita-1-0 depends on libgtk-4-1 (>= 4.17.5). gtk4 4.17.5
introduced gtk_widget_set_limit_events.

You may have an older version of GTK4 installed to something like
/usr/local/lib/

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

Hi Jeremy,

unfortunally- yes. I have some gtk artifact in /usr/local/lib. Deleted 
and worked again. No debian problem, you can close the bug.

Sorry

Thomas

(In my experience, this failure mode nearly always turns out to have 
this as its root cause: Debian's versioned dependency tracking is 
usually good enough to prevent it from happening any other way)
