Glib breaks the system after update

[senya]

New version of libglib breaks system. Any application, that want it, get an error about g_array_ref.

Here is what they write:

Downgrading to jaunty versions fix most problems, but breaks apt db and some applications still don't work.

Thank you for your bug report, what did you upgrade and to what version?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you run "ldd /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0" and copy the log there?

Hey, i've fixed it :)
There was old file, called /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.1502.0 and /usr/lib/libglib-2.0 links was pointing to it. After this file removal everything works. It is not a bug of glib, but it is certainly a bug of ubuntu packaging, that don't make links point in right way. And for some reason, it left this old file on my disk.

ubuntu is not responsive for changes you did manually on your installation, not an ubuntu bug there

[senya (senya)]

The only change, i did manualy, was the bug fix :)
I never manage system libraries manually. So it was ubuntu, who left this library on my disk.

ubuntu didn't let anything but you might have used a non official deb, or a ppa install or similar
