The latest updates (April 15, 2013) broke my installed version of Cairo dock so i removed everything and tried a fresh install. But it appears that there's a libglib2.0 version mismatch as i'm getting the following error message during the install:

cairo-dock-plug-ins : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.35.9) but 2.32.3-0ubuntu1 is to be installed

However, when trying to upgrade libglib it says that 2.32.3 is the newest version. So it seems that Cairo-dock is ahead of the stable Ubuntu distribution.

Any suggestions to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and thank you for this bug report,

It seems you're not using the right ppa because Cairo-Dock Plug-Ins depends of libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0). I guess you're using Ubuntu Raring repo. What's the output of these commands launched from a terminal?
apt-cache policy cairo-dock cairo-dock-plug-ins
apt-cache show cairo-dock-plug-ins

Yes, that was the problem. Somehow i had multiple repositories for cairo-dock in the sources. So i removed all of them and reran
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa
.
Then installed as normal and in worked.

Thanks for the pointer and a great product.
