Aren't these relationships somewhat odd.
Nothing odd there. libgtk1.1-dev conflicts with libgtk-dev so that it won't be installed at the same time as any other package which provides: libgtk-dev. In fact, all the libgtk*-dev packages should provide: libgtk-dev and conflict:libgtk-dev - so only one can be installed at any time. For example: pear# apt-get install libgtk1.1.13-dev Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following extra packages will be installed: libglib1.1.13-dev The following packages will be REMOVED: libgtk-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: libglib1.1.13-dev libgtk1.1.13-dev 0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 893k of archives. After unpacking 1186k will be used. Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Looks fine to me..
