Nothing odd there.
libgtk1.1-dev conflicts with libgtk-dev so that it won't be installed at
the same time as any other package which provides: libgtk-dev.
In fact, all the libgtk*-dev packages should provide: libgtk-dev and
conflict:libgtk-dev - so only one can be installed at any time.
For example:
pear# apt-get install libgtk1.1.13-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
libglib1.1.13-dev
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libgtk-dev
The following NEW packages will be installed:
libglib1.1.13-dev libgtk1.1.13-dev
0 packages upgraded, 2 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 893k of archives. After unpacking 1186k will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Looks fine to me..
