[Bug 54750] Cannot install libgtk2.0-dev on Dapper.

[Michael Trausch]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libgtk2.0-dev

I have attempted to do this various ways, including downgrading packages
to make things match, but ultimately, if this is downgraded, synaptic
will attempt to uninstall the entire (useful) system.

I had this problem with glib and pango, as well, but I am including the
pango portion in here, because it is the reason that this package will
not install.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgtk2.0-dev: Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (= 2.8.17-1ubuntu5) but 2.8.18-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
                 Depends: libpango1.0-dev (>= 1.10.0-2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
