I think you may be right. At the package level, gtk3-devel depends on a
couple of pkgconfig things provided by glib2, but they aren't
specifically versioned:

pkgconfig(gio-2.0)
pkgconfig(gio-unix-2.0)

Ditto Wayland - it depends on:

pkgconfig(wayland-client) >= 1.2.0
pkgconfig(wayland-cursor)

It looks rather like, in theory, it should require something like:

pkgconfig(gio-2.0) >= 2.39
pkgconfig(wayland-client) >= 1.3.90

But this should probably be fixed at the upstream level, as it looks
like these deps are either manually or automatically generated from
upstream. Upstream is https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk
+/tree/configure.ac , and indeed it looks like the pkg-config dep on
gio-2.0 is unversioned and the dep on wayland-client is versioned 1.2.0.
Both of those should probably be bumped.

That's probably a good idea in general, because it's been my experience
that you can't really rely on this kind of dependency being correctly
stated. It is quite a large burden on packagers to maintain versioned
dependencies to such a degree as to permit mixing of packages between
releases even where it's viable (i.e. what you're doing), and it
generally doesn't really happen.

It does seem like this specific instance is one it would be a good idea
for GNOME/GTK folks to fix upstream, though.
