Just had an idea:  ran dpkg with the .deb file in the 
/var/cache/apt/archives, here's the output:

ben at ArchaicThinker:~$ sudo dpkg -i 
'/var/cache/apt/archives/libglib2.0-data_2.34.0-1ubuntu1_all.deb'
[sudo] password for ben:
(Reading database ... 301735 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libglib2.0-data 2.16.6-0ubuntu1.2 (using 
.../libglib2.0-data_2.34.0-1ubuntu1_all.deb) ...
rm: cannot remove `/usr/share/doc/libglib2.0-data': Is a directory
dpkg: error processing 
/var/cache/apt/archives/libglib2.0-data_2.34.0-1ubuntu1_all.deb (--install):
  subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
  /var/cache/apt/archives/libglib2.0-data_2.34.0-1ubuntu1_all.deb
ben at ArchaicThinker:~$

Thanks,
