 Well, that's the high level story, I need to understand what happened
 and how your system got corrupted, and I'd like to reproduce your
 problem to fix it.

 I did not blame you for downgrading, and I merely pointed multiple
 times that one should not use dpkg to manage pacakges, even for
 downgrading.

 Please don't put words in my mouth, I think I took the time to talk
 with you and ask for details, I might not have done that in a friendly
 way, but I certainly didn't do it in unfriendly way.  I need to get to
 the meat of the problem, to a point where I can understand what's
 happening to your system.

 You probably do understand that "release critical" bugs are very
 important to us, and #296206 was clearly inappropriately of "release
 critical" severity, that's why I lowered it's severity.  When I
 understood you mistakingly used dpkg, I closed this bug (#296206).


 Please note I did NOT close #296211, ie this bug.  I asked you for more
 details.


 Now please run and paste the output of these commands:
    objdump -T /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so | grep g_assert_warning
    ldd /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/immodules/im-xim.so | grep glib
