Your kernel is from backports, so you have at least some backports installed.

How can I downgrade libglib2.0-0 without nuking most of the system? Remove extra repos from your sources; pin backports to on-demand only; apt update; downgrade libglib2.0-0, reinstall the packages from the "will be REMOVED" list. That will probably clear up your "no longer required" list, too. -dsr-
