How did you get the recommendation?

FYI, Ubuntu 18.04 64-bit already comes with GTK3, specifically version
3.22.30.  And, the Ubuntu package of GTK3 only has the following
recommendation and suggestion: libgtk-3-bin, librsvg2-common, and gvfs
(you can see it yourself at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz).

So, basically you are re-installing GTK3 when Ubuntu 18.04 already
ships with it.  Why?

Ubuntu 18.04 has those packages already as you can see at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz:

Package: gobject-introspection
Architecture: amd64
Version: 1.56.1-1

Package: libpango-1.0-0
Architecture: amd64
Version: 1.40.14-1

Package: libcairo2
Architecture: amd64
Version: 1.15.10-2

So, I don't see that someone else would want to follow your steps.
