[Fink-beginners] gtk and gtk-shlibs have unmet dependencies

[Malcolm Fitzgerald]

I'm wondering how I get around this situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
gtk+2: Depends: gtk+2-shlibs (= 2.2.4-3) but 2.2.4-2 is to be installed
gtk+2-dev: Depends: gtk+2 (= 2.2.4-2) but 2.2.4-3 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

I encountered this problem several weeks ago and did try 'apt-get -f install'. It worked on for me on that machine, though Martin suggested a fink bug <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.beginners/13117>. 

Now I'm trying to set up my home machine and can't get past this. Fink Commander won't let me remove, rebuild or install anything that uses gtk+2. You can see what fink-commander reports below:
