Thanks Sebastian,
I don't understand the relationship between the output of apt-cache
policy and the repository settings.
But I was configured to use
edgy-security/main.
I figured out what was missing: you had previously recommended
edgy-updates/universe
which I did, but for type 'deb' only. This made this entry unsymmetrical with
the other repository entries, which had both 'deb' and 'deb-src'. When I
enabled the 'deb-src' entry, I got the corrrect libgtk versions.
This does then appear not to be a but with the library packages in
question here, so I'll drop it. However, it appears to be a problem
that a lot of people have. In my case, I have only altered the
repositories carefully, and only when it was recommended that I do so.
Yet it gets tangled up.
But I don't know where to report this. I'll continue to think about it.
