Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

 libgtk2.0-dev : Depends: libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.27.3) but it is not going to be installed

  • Problem solved. Actually I've made some local change in sources.list file according to local server.Now I've changed it and make it as original.
  • Use sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev(for gtk-3) or sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev(for gtk-2) Now its working.
