Which package does it mean?

While trying to install libgtk2.0-0 I got:

Code:

libgtk2.0-0 depends on libxrandr2 (>= 2:1.2.99.2); however:
  Version of libxrandr2 on system is 2:1.2.3-1.
dpkg: error processing libgtk2.0-0 (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 libgtk2.0-0

So went to debian.org and it says:

Code:

Package libxrandr2
etch (oldstable) (libs): X11 RandR extension library 
2:1.1.0.2-5: alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc 
etch-m68k (libs): X11 RandR extension library 
2:1.1.0.2-5: m68k 
lenny (stable) (libs): X11 RandR extension library 
2:1.2.3-1: alpha amd64 arm armel hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc 
squeeze (testing) (libs): X11 RandR extension library 
2:1.3.0-2: alpha amd64 armel hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc 
sid (unstable) (libs): X11 RandR extension library 
2:1.3.0-2: alpha amd64 armel hppa hurd-i386 i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc

I.e. there is nothing much like 2:1.2.99.2

What I do?

It wants a version of libxrandr2 equal to or more recent than version 1.2.99.2
The current version of libxrandr2 in Squeeze is shown below.

You just have to install that. It fits the bill.

Thanks jdkaye. Perhaps I'm not being too intelligent today.
