So libglib1.3_6 should have obsoleted-deinstalled libglib2, I suppose.
BTW, why a funny name like libglib1.3_6, instead of libglib1.3.6 ?
If rpm names do not support 3-number versions in name, use just 2.
More uniform should be libglib1.2-1.2.10-Xmdk and libglib1.3-1.3.6-Xmdk ?
So you can have toghether libglig1.2-1.2.x and libglib1.3-1.3.x....
