pocketsphinx includes src/gst-plugin/livedemo.py which seems to rely on
pygtkcompat. pygtkcompat was a transitional mechanism for porting from
pygobject 2 to pygobject 3, and the pygobject developers removed it
after the 3.50.x release series.
See:
* https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/-/blob/main/NEWS
* https://pygobject.gnome.org/guide/porting.html
We are hoping to do a transition to pygobject 3.54.x somewhat soon,
which will permanently break the ability to use the pygtkcompat API.
I've reported this as minor severity since it looks like this demo isn't
actually installed in the .deb, but please increase its severity
appropriately if I was reading incorrectly.
Upstream, the demo appears to have been moved to gst/livedemo.py, but it
still uses pygtkcompat as far as I can see. Please report this upstream.
