If you really want to use old packages on modern debian distributions, you can manually edit /var/lib/dpkg/status to correct dependencies. In this case this means cp -pai /var/lib/dpkg/status /var/lib/dpkg/status.SAVED $EDITOR /var/lib/dpkg/status search for libglib1.2 in the "Depends: " lines and change it to libglib1.2 | libglib1.2ldbl (you can also do such kind of things after a manual download of a $PACKAGE.deb and a dpkg --force-depends -i $PACKAGE.deb ) Note that you can use archive.debian.org and/or snapshot.debian.net in your /etc/apt/sources.list (and perhaps also adjust /etc/apt/preferences according to man 5 apt_preferences) Note also that that these operations are UNSUPPORTED. I do them routinely and they work fine for me (infact, my reasons to use debian are these kinds of extreme configurability), but: NO WARRANTY. -- Chi usa software non libero avvelena anche te.
