gnome-utils was wrong, kind of. (libgal's soname changes quite
frequently, which means that packages depending on it need to keep up.)
The version of gnome-utils in unstable no longer depends on libgal. It's
stuck waiting for gnome-panel, which is waiting for gnome-session, which
is waiting for a current version of glib2.0; I believe that glib2.0
should get into testing in four days, at which point the rest of that
stack will pop its way through too.
