  This happened to me too. :-)  The glib1.2 in potato (maybe in slink?)
interacts badly with the other libraries on the system..I think it's a libc
issue..I submitted a bug (http://bugs.debian.org/glib1.2) and the maintainer
told me that he'd recompile it RSN.  I guess it hasn't been uploaded and/or
propogated to the mirrors yet...  In the meantime, you can get the Debian
source package and compile it; that should fix things.
