The reason is that apt-get upgrade (as opposed to apt-get dist-upgrade) won't install extra packages and the newer versions of libglib depend on new packages that you don't currently have installed. To fix this problem, run apt-get install libglib1.2 libglib1.2-dev and it should install the extra packages that you're missing.
