You could copy the lib and test if it should work.

The name should be libglib-2.0.so.0.44*.

Do not change the links.

Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soname. Not seldom users of
user-centric distros maintain several versions of a lib. However, in
this case it IMO is better to file a bug report upstream and to rant
with the package maintainers, assumed you should use a so called stable
release of a user-friendly distro.
