I need much more information than this in order to diagnose the problem.
Send your entire /etc/apt/preferences file, your sources.list file and the
output from:

apt-cache policy gthumb
apt-cache policy xlibmesa-gl-dev
apt-cache policy xlibmesa-glu-dev

along with a complete transcript of an apt-get invocation demonstrating the
problem.
