Debian Testing (forky) still has GTK2 right now from what I can see, so maybe Devuan Freia has jumped the gun and removed GTK2 support ahead of time? It seems like an odd decision, but maybe so. Did you try:

CODE:

sudo apt install libgtk2.0-0t64 libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-common

to see if GTK2 was available and just was not installed yet?

When Debian does drop the GTK2 packages, probably sometime in the next year, I have come up with a method to retain GTK2 by adding a prior Debian snapshot as a repository and only allowing apt to install the GTK2 packages from that repo. It will be a simple fix, and probably can be applied to Devuan as well, since the Debian GTK2 packages shouldn't be touching any of the Devuan-specific things like init.
