Can you explain how you did that?

Edit: I think I solved it myself to.

First install the right version of libgtk2.0-0 by doing:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0=2.12.9-3ubuntu4

This will also uninstall gnome-themes gtk2-engines-pixbuf gtk2.0-examples gucharmap libgtk2.0-bin

Now install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

and then reinstall gnome-themes gtk2-engines-pixbuf gtk2.0-examples gucharmap libgtk2.0-bin

sudo apt-get install gnome-themes gtk2-engines-pixbuf gtk2.0-examples gucharmap libgtk2.0-bin

It's even easier than that.

Find the package you want to install, mark it for installation and then click on Package on the menu bar, click on Force Version, select your version from the pop up and click on Apply

Never thought of using the graphical tool ^^
