Thought that the tag is independent from the severity of the bug. I'm sorry.

Install time:

Setting up libgtk2.0-bin (2.6.2-3) ...
Updating the IM modules list for GTK+-2.4.0...Cannot load   =20
module /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-xim.so: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/i=
mmodules/im-xim.so:=20
undefined symbol: g_assert_warning

Runtime:
Will be difficult to cite the message exactly; it's the standard message ab=
out=20
unresolved symbols in a library. If you're sure you need that, I'll install=
=20
the broken packages again and post the message. The previous one was still =
in=20
the console cache.
I'm using firefox1.0* if that helps.

It isn't, because of the reason I've mentioned below. It's completely=20
unrelated to this issue.

I'm using a complete unstable system (in fact, I _were_ using). The very on=
ly=20
packages from sarge are libgtk2.0-0 and libgtk2.0-bin. I did this (ie. that=
 I=20
downgraded (downgraded due to the problems with libgtk2.0* in sid) only 2=20
packages) to minimalize the incompatibility between the two branches and th=
e=20
impact on my system.
