Hi Floris,

I attempted to get gtk-gnutella into volatile but it isn't possible.
Considering that volatile only useful package is (potentially) clamav
and that only if you are disconnected I'd say you are better off
rebuilding the package yourself and never using volatile.

Feel free to contact me off-line if you require assistance rebuilding
gtk-gnutella so that it is functional for you once again.

Cheers,
Anand
