Is anyone going to fix this? It's getting bigger. Now, the fix no longer works because other packages are starting to depend on the newer libraries. For example:

root@dynamo-ubuntu:~# apt-get install libgtk2.0-0=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 libgtk2.0-bin=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 libgail18=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 libgail-common=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 gtk2-engines-pixbuf=2.20.0-0ubuntu4 --no-remove

The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev mongodb xulrunner-1.9.2-dev
The following packages will be DOWNGRADED:
  gtk2-engines-pixbuf libgail-common libgail18 libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-bin
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 5 downgraded, 4 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
E: Packages need to be removed but remove is disabled.

The libgtk2.0-dev and those other files are in a dependency path to the newer (buggy) libgtk files so I can't downgrade anymore. What do we need to do to get this fixed?
