Impact - GIR bindings do not work in Oneiric Development Fix - But was fixed in lightdm 1.1.2 by fixing build rules for GIR generation and correcting one GIR annotation. This fix has been backported. Stable Fix - debian/patches/13_fix_gir_bindings.patch Test Case - Run the program in comment 2. It should not generate an error. Regression Potential - Nothing was using the GIR bindings in Oneiric and this bug shows they weren't working. The patch only changes the GIR generation so should not change any other aspect of the program.
