Hi ppl, I'm trying to install the GTK development libraries libgtk1.2-dev and it needs libglib1.2-dev....a previous attempt to do this had resulted in a broken libglib1.2-dev....I've tried to remove it but I can't....I've downloaded the .deb for the library and if I try to reinstall I get the following message: ------------------------------------------------- Preparing to replace libglib1.2-dev 1.2.7-2 (using libglib1.2-dev_1.2.7-2.deb)...
