Debian libglib2 version 2.10.2 still produces the error. Is this an actual bug 
in glib2, or is it because aRts is incompatible in some way? If it is a bug, 
do you know the Debian bug report number - I couldn't find it when I 
searched. Is there any way of compiling aRts so that it works with this 
version?

I'd like to upgrade to the current version of libglib2 because a number of 
other packages depend on it, if only I could get aRts to work with it.
