Specifying backports repo does not change anything.

Package libgtk-3-dev is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

I am trying to compile "gaw3" pspice waveform viewer but I am getting problems with gtk+3.
So, when I run ./configure I get the following error:

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.0.0... no
configure: error: Cannot find gtk+ 3.x or later, please install ...

I disable the bookworm repo, enable backports and synaptic finds v7, but:
sudo apt install kicad
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

As I said, in this moment I try to update Kicad from v6 to v7 and I am unable to do that but the problem is with many other packages and it is not about getting the latest and the greatest but in some cases it is 5 years.
For example scikit-rf for python is installing in v0.15 while the latest is v0 ...
