Thanks for your help - I fixed it by editing the /var/lib/dpkg/status file and changing libglib2.0-0(6=2.48.0) to read (=2.48.0) - then did an apt update/upgrade

Try to download both problematic packages and then force their installation with:
apt-get download libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0=2.36.11-2 libglib2.0-0=2.56.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
sudo dpkg -i --force-all lib*.deb

I fixed it by editing the /var/lib/dpkg/status file and changing libglib2.0-0(6=2.48.0) to read (=2.48.0) - then did an apt update/upgrade

Try to download both problematic packages and then force their installation with:
apt-get download libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0=2.36.11-2 libglib2.0-0=2.56.3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
sudo dpkg -i --force-all lib*.deb
