What this means is that the solution to your dependencies that
aptitude calculated didn't leave libglib1.2 on your system. Probably
the message should say "it is not going to be installed", not
"it is not installable".
In order to give you a more specific answer I'd need to know what you
were trying to upgrade and ideally see all the output from aptitude.
