Yeah, this 2.33 glib upload to unstable was unfortunate.

The way to fix this is to upload glib 2.33 to experimental with bumped
shlibs and recompile the packages from experimental so they pick up a
dependency on glib which is >> 2.33.12+really2.32.3
So most likely this will happen as part of the glib 2.33.14 upload. The
2.33.14 release just happened a few hours ago, so hopefully we will have
a new upload soon.


Cheers,
Michael
