In theory, the rpm should catch it.
Unfortunately (this is Fedora):

address@hidden i386]$ rpm -qp --requires pan-0.97-2.i386.rpm |grep
glib
libglib-2.0.so.0  
address@hidden i386]$ rpm -q glib2
glib2-2.10.2-1.fc5.1
address@hidden i386]$

If glib2 < 2.10 also provides libglib-2.0.so.0 (I'm pretty sure it does)
then rpm won't catch the issue, and if there is a difference, the glib
developers probably should have versioned the shared library to prevent
exactly the problem you have.

I would recommend getting the src.rpm and rebuilding it on your local
machine.
