Public bug reported:

New version of libglib breaks system. Any application, that want it, get
an error about g_array_ref.

Here is what they write:
fenix...@fenixk19-desktop:/tmp/glib2.0-2.22.2$ update-manager
Traceback (most recent call last):

Downgrading to jaunty versions fix most problems, but breaks apt db and
some applications still don't work.
