(Bcc bugreport, as some new information has come up, I think.) Hi everyone,
some gir-* packages install their typelib files into multiarch paths since recently, which requires gobject-introspection of a version newer than what’s in stable. There’s a bugreport related to this (#766644) in which this issue was uncovered and discussed. This appears to affect many packages, which means an MBF is probably needed, so I’d like to discuss this here. Michael Biebl dixit: >Here is a complete list of source packages (dd-list is attached) > >appstream-glib >brasero >caja >cinnamon-menus >event-dance >fcitx >gdl >gexiv2 >gnome-menus >gnumeric >goffice >grilo >gtk+3.0 >gtksourceview3 >ibus >libgda5 >libgee >libgee-0.8 >libgsf >libgweather >libmediaart >librsvg >libskk >libwnck3 >maliit-framework >mate-menus >mate-panel >nemo >network-manager >pango1.0 >policykit-1 >tracker >udisks2 >webkit2gtk >webkitgtk > > >The following packages are probably fine: >event-dance >fcitx >goffice >grilo >libgsf > >They build-depend on 1.41.4. This is not entirely correct, 1.41.4-1 or >1.41.4-1~ would have been better. In practice, it shouldn't make a big >difference though. However, contrary to what I said in the bugreport, I now think that we need a build dependency on newer gobject-introspection in the packages that *use* these typelib files, because it is the dh_girepository call in those packages that actually fails, which means that the gir-* pak‐ kages need a versioned Depends (not Build-Depends) on it (to ensure it is installed when they’re used during a package build). Please share advice of how to best the fix, and how to go on filing the bugs, if at all.
