Complain to your distribution.

It looks like your distribution decided to rename glib2 to glib. You seem to
have version 2.6 already installed, so installing 2.4 is probably not what you
want.

Versions 1.x and 2.x can be intstalled at the same time, and like Auke said
they often are, but you can't install two different packages of glib 2.x.
