Help downgrading libglib2.0

[bpowell2005]

This thread is solved...excellent directions posted in this thread that helped me downgrade libglib2.0 and it's related files without any other program removal. Computer is fixed!



Hello All,

I ran updates today, and libglib2.0 upgraded to 2.22.3...which is unstable...now when I click on my trash can, computer, or network, Nautilus segfaults.

It looks like the "fix" is to revert libglib2.0 to version 2.20. I can highlight the package and select "force version"...however, when I do that, I get a warning that to complete this task, the following programs must be removed: And in this list are basically everything needed to run Ubuntu...Brasero, Gnome, etc. (must be 50+ packages)

How can I revert my libglib2.0 version without destroying my OS?

Thanks!

Anybody? I'm nervious to let the package manager proceed becuase I think I'm going to lose all the packages it says it's going to remove...(no reason to think it's lying!)

How can I downgrade libglib2.0 to a stable version?

Thanks!

I'm starting to think from the lack of replies this might not be possible given how ingrained libglib 2.0 appears to be in the system. I really don't want to upgrade to Karmic just to see if it'll fix this...this is the first Ubuntu problem I've not been able to correct.

You would lose all the packages it says. So, you don't want to do it with that method.

Are you sure it's libglib2.0 that's causing the issue?

I've seen lots of posts about a similear problem...I have all the symptoms...if I click my trash icon, segfault....if I go "Places" compter, Segfault...if I go "Places" Network, segfault...all of this was working as recently as yesterday...apparently libglib2.0-2.22.3 is unstable? But it came across in my updates, and now I'm broken down.

I'm open to other suggestions though!
