The solution proposed by aptitude seems reasonable to me. libgamin0
provides and replaces both libfam0c102 and libfam0, so any feature that
relies on FAM libraries should also work with gamin installed.
Furthermore, the package description of gamin states that it "has been
designed as a drop-in replacement for FAM".
