everything stopped working,
Yes, that is a very silly thing to do for two reasons. Firstly, glib is a userspace library for handling graphics operations together with the gimp toolkit. glibc is the most basic lib on your system, not to be touched unless you know what you're doing. Secondly, no package should ever be installed with --force for any reason whatever. If it doesn't work otherwise, don't touch it, it's broken! To get glib 2.2 you could look at ximian.com, it's available through their red-carpet service.
