Public bug reported:
All attempts to import the `gnucash` Python package fail with the error:
ERROR <GLib> g_variant_unref: assertion 'value != NULL' failed
System Details:
- Ubuntu Version: 22.04.4 LTS
- Architecture: amd64
- Python Version: 3.10.12
Buggy Package Version:
python3-gnucash:
Installed: 1:4.8-1build2
Candidate: 1:4.8-1build2
Source Package:
gnucash
Version: 1:4.8-1build2
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install `gnucash` and `python3-gnucash`.
2. Execute the following command:
python3 -c "import gnucash"
```
Observed Behavior:
The command produces:
18:18:27 ERROR <GLib> g_variant_unref: assertion 'value != NULL' failed
Expected Behavior:
The command should return with error code 0, indicating a successful import.
Additional Information:
This error does not appear in newer OS/package versions. It has been reported
to work with Python 3.11.2 on Debian 12 and works perfectly on Ubuntu 24.04
(Python 3.12, GnuCash 5.5), which I have confirmed personally. Sadly not on
Ubuntu 22.04.
Workarounds Tried:
- Reinstalling python3-gnucash - did not help.
- Using a virtual environment - neither.
- Testing with other OS and Python versions (3.11 and 3.12), where the issue
did not appear.
I suspect this may be related to packaging issues specific to
python3-gnucash on Ubuntu 22.04.
