There are modules that require a newer gtk+ version than the one your
distro provides.  Usually the development version of gtk+, that is to
make use of the latest additions or fixes in there.

This does not sound good. Although, more details are needed.

You first assumption is right.  libgdata requires goa, and goa requires
webkit.  As far as I see, goa requires the development version. So,
likely you will not find it either in Ubuntu or most of the other
distros out there.

FWIW, while doing other stuffs I left building libgdata with the most
recent jhbuild, it built without major issues (only a known headache of
libicu Ubuntu 12.04).  I tend to think there is strange in your
installation.
