They are identical: same version, size, homepage, description, license, repo etc, but they have a difference in a slot name (-gtk4). What is going on with those two packages?

[Chiitoo]

I /think/ everything gtk-4 is under 'gui-libs', which is the new home for things like this, moving away from the 'x11' specific naming in categories such as 'x11-libs'.

That is unless I remember something horribly wrong.
