failed to get `gtk-extras` as a dependency of package `pop-desktop-widget v0.1.2

[Dale-CDL]

I cloned the desktop-widget and tried to build it. It is similar to #68 but with a different cause by reason. I am using Debian 11 with Gnome 3.38.5 using Wayland.

It looks like the branch gtk-rs-0.14 does not exist on the gtk-extra git repo. You can try to edit the file Cargo.toml and change the gtk-extra dependency branch to master.

gtk-extras = { git = "https://github.com/pop-os/gtk-extras", branch = "master" }

Sorry @efernandesng for the late replies. Been busy with balancing work and life.
I edited the Cargo.toml and removed the instances of gtk-rs-0.14. I was able to get further along, but needed to install gstreamer-1.0 and libhandy-1-dev. I now have another build issue. Should I create a new issue? Here is the details.
