Subject: libgtk2.0-bin: undefined symbol: g_assert_warning

Package: libgtk2.0-bin
Version: 2.6.2-4
Severity: grave

*** Please type your report below this line ***

This is what I see since some time, when trying to upgrade Debian packages:

   gutow:/home/gutow# apt-get install --reinstall libgtk2.0-bin

   Errors were encountered while processing:

   E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
   gutow:/home/gutow#

The file "usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-xim.so" is a part
of the package reported here (and only this package), namely
libgtk2.0-0_2.6.2-4_i386.deb

The result is that many applications will not start any more
(gnumeric, gimp, g3data, gcalctool, ...). They all report errors
similar to:

   gnumeric: relocation error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined
     symbol: g_option_context_new

The file mentioned above (/usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0) is, in turn,
a part of the package libgtk2.0-dev_2.6.2-4_i386.deb - so perhaps the
bug is here?
