Please post questions to the list and not directly to me in the future.
You are much more likely to get a better response if I do not know the
answer.
ftp.gtk.org is not set up to work as an archive that can be retrieved
via Debian methods. You will have to download the files individually
and install them with 'dpkg -i <package>'. If they had a correctly
formatted Package file in the stable directory the correct URI line
would be(I think)
deb ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/binary/DEBIAN/ stable/
Please read man page for sources.list for details on the syntax for URI
lines in sources.list. It is a little confusing sometimes I admit.
