I am trying to install libglib2.0-dev
by trying
brian@computer:~$ sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
However I get back:
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libglib2.0-dev : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.48.0-1ubuntu4) but 2.48.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1 is to be installed
Depends: libglib2.0-bin (= 2.48.0-1ubuntu4)
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
Oh no! What if I try to install those missing packages myself?
brian@computer:~$ sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0 libglib2.0-bin
Then I get :
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libglib2.0-0 is already the newest version (2.48.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1).
libglib2.0-bin is already the newest version (2.48.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1).
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 11 not to upgrade.
So they are already installed ...
What to do now?
I do see there is some discrepancy regarding 2.48.0-1ubuntu4)
and 2.48.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1
but what does that mean and how can I make it go away?
