In general, requirements are only minimums, so if (for example) gerby requires gtk+ 2.4.14, it should also work with 2.8.x (or even 2.16.x). So try installing the more recent versions, and worry about parallel install if problems come up. As a guideline, any package *should* be compatible with any previous version with the same major version number (gtk 2, for example). Simon.
