It does. glib 1.2 and glib 2.x are not really compatible. > How do I do to make the newest replace the oldest? Because they're not compatible, so a program that uses 1.2 cannot suddenly use 2.2 without at least a recompile, and possibly without a few source changes. If they were compatible, there would be only one package name in Debian, and its version would go from 1.2 to 2.0 to 2.2, and a newer one would replace an older one. The fact that there are two separate packages in Debian that provide different glib versions is specifically because this is required in order to support older applications. In other words, this is all working as it's supposed to, and there is no problem here except in your mind. (: Peter
