gtk+2-dev must not depend on anything.A quick check didn't show anything in fink packaging policy about -dev
packages not being able to depend on anything, and indeed gtk+2-dev does
depend on things:
Depends: gtk+2-shlibs (= 2.4.9-8), gtk+2 (= 2.4.9-8), darwin (>= 8-1)
Well, I exaggerated a little; it is not allowed to depend on things that have the BuildDependsOnly flag set, that is basically other *-dev packages.
It has, however, in its description the lines:
Any package which BuildDepends on this one must also BuildDepend on: atk1 (>= 1.6.0-1), glib2-dev (>= 2.4.0-1), pango1-xft2-dev (>= 1.4.0-1)
I'm sure there is a good reason for this, but that really sounds rather backwards...
I agree, and this has been discussed from time to time, but so far none of the proposed solutions has made it into reality.
