Bug#666868: libatk1.0-dev: FTBFS when building emacs23 due to atk: error related to G_DEPRECATED_FOR

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: libatk1.0-dev
Version: 2.4.0-1
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS

When building emacs23 from source, I get an error on:

[...]

The corresponding code in /usr/include/atk-1.0/atk/atkobject.h is:

#ifndef ATK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
G_DEPRECATED_FOR(atk_component_get_layer)
AtkLayer                atk_object_get_layer                      (AtkObject *accessible);
G_DEPRECATED_FOR(atk_component_get_mdi_zorder)
gint                    atk_object_get_mdi_zorder                 (AtkObject *accessible);
#endif /* ATK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED */

The problem seems to be that neither ATK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED nor
G_DEPRECATED_FOR is defined...

After a search on Google, I've found:

  http://mail.gnome.org/archives/orca-list/2012-March/msg00147.html

which says (if I understand correctly) that atk need a recent glib
version. This would mean that some versioned dependency is missing.
