I've had that happen to me a few times too. But subscribing might mean
you end up with 2 copies (3 including the Cc!).

That means you've also got libpulse-dev installed. Have you compiled
something that involves audio? You could see what `aptitude why` says
about that.

That's good, it isn't forcing anything else to be upgraded. I haven't
had any problems since I upgraded glib.

However, this version alone won't remove all the warnings, and it's the
fact that there are warnings at all that make it a nuisance, not whether
there are three or four instead of only one. But recompiling to use the
patch takes a loooooooong time and requires a lot of other dev packages.
I could upload the binary package I made too if amd64 is any use to you.
