I'm guessing fink downloads packages to /sw/var/cache/apt/archives or 
something like that.

You could 
dpkg -i --force-depends  /sw/var/cache/apt/archives/*glib*deb
but it's probably not a great long term solution because apt will be 
convinced it's broken.

I guess it's probably better to just go with what fink, er, finks 
(sorry) and install the dependencies.  What's the gmp error?
It might be easier to fix that.
