is there a way i can force an install. or unstall pkgs to make this
work?

i get:
--------------------------------------------------------------
root at mith:/home/mith# apt-get install libwxgtk2.2-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
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.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libwxgtk2.2-dev: Depends: libgtk1.2-dev but it is not going to be
installed
E: Broken packages
-------------------------------------------------------------

i've tried to then apt-get install libgtk1.2-dev but i get the same
unmet dependencies error, depending upon libglib1.2-dev.
till finally i get roadblocked by:
-------------------------------------------------------------

root at mith:/home/mith# apt-get install libglib1.2-dev
