cjs contains code that explicitly loads the GIRepository-2.0 typelib (in modules/script/package.js, which is the implementation of the imports.package API). GIRepository is currently part of gir1.2-glib-2.0, but it will need to be moved to a separate binary package during the GNOME 46 cycle, as a result of most of gir1.2-glib-2.0 moving to src:glib2.0 (which has broken some of the API/ABI in the process, resulting in it shipping an incompatible GIRepository-3.0 instead). A preliminary version of this package split has been uploaded to experimental and is waiting in the NEW queue: https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gobject-introspection/-/tree/debian/new To ensure that the imports.package API continues to work correctly for cjs applications, please add an explicit dependency on gir1.2-girepository-2.0, as in the attached patch 0001 (this corresponds to the change I uploaded in gjs 1.78.1-2). In current trixie/sid, this is a virtual package provided by gir1.2-glib-2.0, but in future, I expect it to become a separate binary package. For completeness, I think it would be best to add explicit dependencies on all of the typelibs imported by the built-in modules in cjs' modules/script/: I believe the attached patch 0002 is correct for this (this corresponds to gjs 1.78.1-3). I don't use Cinnamon or its applications myself, so I haven't tested the attached patches, but to the best of my knowledge they're correct. In practice, the only cjs application seems to be the cinnamon desktop shell itself (Cinnamon's equivalent of GNOME Shell), and that doesn't seem to use the imports.package API, so this missing dependency is probably not going to break it. As a result, this is probably not RC even with the proposed version of gobject-introspection. smcv
