What ldd some-gtk-app prints? Namely the libgobject-2.0 is interesting. > This symbol seems to be defined in libgobject-2.0.a.

Try something like eu-readelf --symbols libgobject-2.0.so.0.1000.3 instead to get symbol info from the dynamic lib. Static libs (.a) are not used for dynamic linking and thus irrelevant here. What libgobject-2.0* files you have there anyway? > ... > So, I did:: > > $ sudo apt-get --reinstall install libglib2.0-dev The NON-dev package is important for run-time, -dev is only important for compilation. So what libglib2.0 do you have installed? Is it at least 2.10.0?
