Had a similar problem back 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 option (haven't done this in a while so please verify what
the option actually is). 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.
