I've just installed gtk2 by typing: sudo apt install gtk2.0, ./configure of one package asked for this gtk2 now I don't need it and I want to remove it, when I type: sudo apt remove gtk2.0, I got:

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  flowblade gimp gir1.2-gtk-2.0 gpicview gtk2.0-examples ibus-gtk inkscape kasumi kdenlive
  libcanberra-gtk-module libcanberra-gtk0 libexo-1-0 libgail-common libgail18 libgarcon-1-0
  libgarcon-gtk3-1-0 libgimp2.0 libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-bin libgtk2.0-cil libgtk2.0-cil-dev
  libgtk2.0-common libgtk2.0-dev libgtk2.0-doc libgtkmm-2.4-1v5 libgtkspell0 libmlt++3 libmlt6
  librccgtk2-0 libunique-1.0-0 libxfce4ui-1-0 lxappearance melt monodoc-gtk2.0-manual pidgin
  pinentry-gtk2 python-gtk2 python3-mlt qt5-gtk2-platformtheme qt5-style-plugins shotcut uim-gtk2.0
  uim-gtk2.0-immodule viewnior xboard xfce4 xfce4-appfinder xfce4-mailwatch-plugin xfce4-notes
  xfce4-notes-plugin xfce4-panel xfce4-screensaver xfce4-session xfce4-settings
  xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin xfce4-xkb-plugin xfdesktop4 xubuntu-core xubuntu-default-settings
  xubuntu-desktop

so it will remove all my xubuntu/xfce environment... wtf? ??? why so

ADDED: After reboot, the looks of some of my apps have changed, I think some app uses gtk, and because I've changed the version to gtk2, then appearance has changed. I think even better, I like the looks of sliders for instance. But the color scheme is now very bad.

That was an very old packages, I was anyway unable to install it... I think now I should run sudo apt-get install gtk3

Are you sure that the package you installed to satisfy the ./configure requirement was really `gtk2.0`? it's more likely to have been the development package `libgtk2.0-dev`

Please be careful with package names. Do not invent not-existing names. You should consult with https://packages.ubuntu.com for actual package names for your release.

You should look at `/var/log/apt/*` to see which packages you installed, which packages were installed for you, and when.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
