Giving up (on building emacs 23 on debian etch)

The latest error I get is
configure wants glib
glib wants gtk
and then apt bails out saying

libgtk2.0-dev:
  Depends: libgtk2.0-0 (=2.8.20-7) but 2.10.13-2~bpo.1 is to be
installed

I suppose one could try to get around it but in my experience when
pango gtk glib X etc start getting pulled in by dependencies it will
break anyway later and is generally not worth it.

So sticking with 22 (on debian etch)
(Have an ubuntu hardy laptop where the story may be different. But
doubt whether that too is worth the struggle)
