Actually, GTK+ is only needed for gtk-based apps. It doesn't affect

Change "stable" to "woody" in your sources.list. (the _real_ solution
is to release woody as stable, since the installer thinks it is)
As you can see from my system, both gtk1.2 and glibc 2.2 coexist quite
happily :
$ apt-cache policy libc6 libgtk1.2
libc6:
Installed: 2.2.5-6
Candidate: 2.2.5-6

2.2.5-7 0

libgtk1.2:

If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his
cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it,
but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What
good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or
what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
