[Bug 2002212] [NEW] Outdated version of libglib2.0-dev in Ubuntu Jammy

[Bajcsi Elias-Robert]

Public bug reported:

The version of libglib2.0-dev that is currently included in the
repositories for Ubuntu is 2.72.1-1, which is outdated and missing
important features and bug fixes. In particular, the
G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro, which was added in GTK+ 3.22, is not
available in this version of libglib2.0-dev. This is causing issues with
my application, which requires the use of this macro.

I request that the package be updated to the latest version (currently
2.74) in order to resolve this issue.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install libglib2.0-dev version 2.72.1-1 on an Ubuntu system
  2. Attempt to compile an application that uses the G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro
  3. Observe the compilation error due to the missing macro

Expected result:
The application compiles successfully and can be run.

Actual result:
The application fails to compile due to the missing G_APPLICATION_DEFAULT_FLAGS macro.

Release:
  Description:	Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
  Release:	22.04

Using version:
2.72.1-1

Requested version:
2.74(+)
