Public bug reported: Impact ------ It was detected that something could cause GNOME Shell to crash during the upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS. GNOME Shell then was unable to start because it wasn't able to locate the gio 2.0 gir files.
Therefore, we are bumping the minimum version of the gir1.2-glib-2.0 dependency to 2.80 so that gnome-shell is not upgraded before the gir file it depends on. Test Case --------- What Could Go Wrong ------------------- Other Info ---------- There was a major reorganization in glib 2.80 compared to glib 2.78. The gir file is now built by the glib2.0 source package instead of from gobject-introspection which bumped the package version from 1.78 to 2.78. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: High Status: In Progress ** Tags: noble ** Description changed: Impact ------ It was detected that something could cause GNOME Shell to crash during the upgrade from Ubuntu 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS.
