Hi,
Sorry for the delay.
Sure I have no clue then if it possible to have some binary packages installed
using apt without their source package being known by apt-cache. That is just
more strange to me.
At that time, gtk4 was only available in experimental and I was suspecting a bug
due to such a case. I will search in experimental to check for another case like
this one now that gtk4 is in unstable.
