Had a similar problem bakc when I did this. Even though this causes some
clutter by installing stuff you don't need, I had to run Swaret with the
--installnew (haven't done this in a while so please verify) option. I
also had to do this on the the l/ directory as you need new versions of
gtk, etc. Perhaps you want to download this directory from somewhere and
update it using upgradepkg.
