36 Do you have some gnome overlay installed? None of the high-versioned packages
37 you need (glib, gtk+) are in the regular tree.

45 My guess is something in the overlay depends on a version of gtk+ that isn't
46 in the overlay yet, except for the dev versions *99*. And those are hard and
47 keyword masked as usual for cvs/svn versions.
48
49 resync the overlay, try again.
50 It's an overlay. It's certain to break once a day. Less than that is a bonus.
