I do not know currently, except that blueman depends on glib-x11 which
is confirmed by the maintainer. It seems gthumb has the same dependency
because sinde blueman is working gthumb too.
The dependendies are only satisfait if you install a full DE like Gnome,
KDE or other defaults by Debian.
If you install the bare minimum like
Debian base
xorg
wdm
fvwmg
thumb
blueman
alsa
mc
you have a non-working system!

yes, if you know, WHICH package you need, it can be installed manually
which is already confirmed by 3 Package maintainers. They assumed,
that Debian User install always a complete system, but where not
thinking on users which do not need a full DE.
Hence, some packages missing dependencies.
I will install a second stretch in a VM and install only the minimum
and then Package by Package to figure out, which dependencies are
missing.
It is a huge work, especially when I currently work in my 5,6ha forest
on my BioFarm in Estonia (-10°C and 30cm snow).

My T400 was under Windows 7 and had a "hardware" error which refuse to
burn ANY DVDs. So I installed the ISO bootable on the USB Stick and
added the second ISO to it.
But it does not work.
Since my Interanet Server is also not running, I can not even install
a local mirror.

This was exactly what was not working!
The Installer could not continue.

the old fashion does not work anymore.
I get an error "Device unknown"
ifup enp0s25

Yes, because Debian Stretch does not more boot and I can not see the
Lilo command prompt
