The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Hm, somehow I have newer packages than the current existing ones:

root@ubuntu:~# apt-cache policy libpango-1.0-0
libpango-1.0-0:
  Installed: 1.36.3-1ubuntu1.1
  Candidate: 1.36.3-1ubuntu1.1
  Version table:
 *** 1.36.3-1ubuntu1.1 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1.36.3-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ devel/main amd64 Packages

On checking for all packages:

root@ubuntu:~# clean --check-obsolete
Found the 3 following obsolete packages for all versions: wine1.7-amd64:amd64 wine1.7-i386:i386 wine1.7:amd64
Found the 7 following obsolete packages for the current version: gir1.2-pango-1.0:amd64 libglib2.0-data:amd64 libpango-1.0-0:amd64 libpango1.0-0:amd64 libpangocairo-1.0-0:amd64 libpangoft2-1.0-0:amd64 libpangoxft-1.0-0:amd64

After downgrading these packages libgtk2.0-dev doesn't shown any dependency issues anymore.
