Hi,

since 5d284ebc8df87b0e21cee5844d66dc7c80863464 it's not possible anymore 
to have gnome-desktop-service-type and xdg-destkop-portal-gtk installed 
in the system profile. Is this intended? Is there any workaround?

Thank you for your help,

giacomo

That was definitely not intended.

Sorry!

But that means that either way, sway or gnome will be broken.

I've reverted the commit for now--but that's not a solution. Now sway is 
broken (Screencast needs authenticator and that's unavailable in 
xdg-desktop-portal-wlr but available in xdg-desktop-portal-gtk--but 
after the revert, not both xdg-desktop-portal-wlr and 
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk can be installed) and gnome should be ok as 
before.

The revert is commit 27750bd0cddddab9e900f289a5520314ef66487e.

Hi Danny, thank you so much for the quick action. I'm not sure about the 
right solution for this but maybe the gnome-desktop-service-type should 
install xdg-desktop-portal-next in the system profile instead of 
xdg-desktop-portal? I think this way there wouldn't be any collision but 
it would need some test for sure.
