Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libglib2.0-dev: Depends: libglib2.0-0 (= 2.24.0-0ubuntu4) but 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I don't understand from where the 2.24.1-0ubuntu1 version came out. The package details are:

$ apt-cache showpkg libglib2.0-dev
Package: libglib2.0-dev
Versions: 
2.24.0-0ubuntu4 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ru.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages)
 Description Language: 
                 File: /var/lib/apt/lists/ru.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages
                  MD5: f1a310bc28a3b8566d2f79a4116e8a0e

How can I fix it and install libglib2.0-dev?
