Bug Description

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

Thanks for your bug. Could you run "apt-cache policy" and copy that to a comment? Looks like you have dapper-updates not activated for universe

Thank you. I did not realize that it wound up being disabled, but
somehow or another it did.

I re-added it back to the sources.list file and everything seems to work
again, which is good. I apologize for the ignorant bug report—I was too
confused to know where to look, since it seemed to be getting some
software and not others.

I've actually fixed the problem.

I googled for someone's sources.list for dapper, and used that. Now everything is working perfectly.

The only difference I could find was:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted
as apposed to:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main

the first one is what worked.
this is definately a sources.list problem, not a bug.

apologies for consuming your valuable bug fixing time when it could have been used on much more immediate issues.

kind regards,

Montaro.
