Apparently, though unproven, at 17:41 on Monday 07 February 2011, [email protected] did opine thusly:

My guess is something in the overlay depends on a version of gtk+ that isn't in the overlay yet, except for the dev versions *99*. And those are hard and keyword masked as usual for cvs/svn versions. resync the overlay, try again. It's an overlay. It's certain to break once a day. Less than that is a bonus. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
