Weird error starting Awesome - undefined symbol: g_mutex_trylock

Are you sick of me yet?

I'm trying to install Awesome, my favorite window manager. I added the [testing] and the [archlinuxfr] repos to my pacman.conf file, since Awesome isn't in the official repos anymore, so I can install awesome with pacman -Sy awesome. I successfully installed SLiM and DWM, both of which seem to work fine. In my ~/.xinitrc file, I have this

exec awesome 2> errors.txt

and the following shows up in errors.txt:

awesome: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_mutex_trylock

With Google searching, I haven't seen anyone else with this error for the Awesome WM, but I have seen plenty with this error for various GTK+ applications. Pacman says pango is up-to-date, and I have all of Awesome's dependencies installed. I have read the wiki's article on Awesome, and it was of no help. Is there a special way I'm supposed to start it? Sorry if I missed something.

Are you fully up to date?

I thought I was.

I figured it out. I had to pacman -S glib2, because glib wasn't up to date. Thanks though.

You can find awesome in [community-testing], there's no need for [archlinuxfr].
