Package: gir1.2-ayatanaido3-0.4
Version: 0.10.4-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
To reproduce:
$ podman run --rm -it debian:sid-slim
# apt update && apt full-upgrade
# apt install --no-install-recommends gir1.2-ayatanaido3-0.4 python3-gi
# python3
>>> from gi.repository import AyatanaIdo3
(Or use your favourite minimal environment, if not podman; and use your
favourite language with GObject-Introspection bindings, if not Python)
Expected result:
Imports successfully
Actual result:
ImportError: Typelib file for namespace 'Gtk', version '3.0' not found
This appears to be because src:ayatana-ido doesn't run dh_girepository,
so the ${gir:Depends} substvar isn't populated.
I'll send a merge request soon with this and other GObject-Introspection
improvements.
Thanks,
smcv

Subject: [PATCH] d/control: Build-depend on dh-sequence-gir
Without this (or its imperative equivalent, `dh --with gir` or
`dh_girepository`), ${gir:Depends} and similar substvars won't be
populated.
Closes: #-1
