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.
