I think we might have another problem, namely that the last update to 
cairomm broke it.

gtkmm2.0 and pangomm1.4 couldn't be rebuilt (and probably gtkmm3.0 as 
well), complaining that they couldn't find cairo-1.0.

This is from the website of cairomm:

https://www.cairographics.org/cairomm/

>  There are two series of cairomm releases, each with its own stable 
API/ABI. Releases up to 1.14.z (z is any integer) belong to the 
cairomm-1.0 ABI series. They are used by gtkmm-2.4 and gtkmm-3.0. 
cairomm 1.16.0 and higher-numbered releases belong to the cairomm-1.16 
ABI series. They are used by gtkmm-4.0.

So, right now, if you install the latest version of cairomm, you end up 
with 1.18, which is used by gtkmm4.0 (I don't think we have gtk4 at all 
in the repo, so it's not terribly useful). gtk2 and gtk3 use the 
1.0-series, therefore would need 1.14.5, but installing "cairomm1.0" 
forces you to use something incompatible.

Right now we have a package called "libcairomm1.0_1.16_1". Given the 
above, that makes no sense and shouldn't exist. We should have two 
separate cairomm package sets: cairomm1.0 (1.14.5) and cairomm1.16 (1.18).
