gcc and glib are empty package,

from setup.ini
install: release/gcc/gcc-3.4.4-999.tar.bz2 46
install: release/GNOME/glib/glib-1.2.10-10.tar.bz2 46

a 46 byte package is an empty bzipped tar file.

They are there to allow the pull of other packages,
unfortunately setup forget to tick them and reinstall them
every time.=20

libgnomecanvas2 is the source package of
  libgnomecanvas2-devel
  libgnomecanvas2_0

I see no package requiring it, all dependency are for
libgnomecanvas2_0
