Package: libgtk2-java
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

apt-get dist-upgrade wants to remove packages depending on libgtk2-java,
but libgtk2-java can't be installed:

"apt-get install -t unstable libgtk2-java" gives:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libgtk2-java: Depends: libgtk2-jni (= 2.6.0.1-3) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

and "apt-get install -t unstable libgtk2-jni" gives:

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package libgtk2-jni is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libgtk2-jni has no installation candidate
