Bug#552812: libunique-dev: circular build dependency between libunique and gobject-introspection-repository

[Marc Leeman]

Package: libunique-dev
Version: 1.1.2
Severity: serious
Justification: no longer builds from source


I am rebuilding libunique, and it complains about:

ValueError: Couldn't find include 'Gtk-2.0.gir' (search path: ['/usr/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gir-1.0', '/usr/share/gir-1.0'])


Looking up where this file is to be found, it seems that it is part of:

http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=Gtk-2.0.gir&mode=path&suite=unstable&arch=any
gir-repository-dev [not hppa, kfreebsd-amd64, kfreebsd-i386], gobject-introspection-repository [not i386, ia64, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc] 

Building from source again (apt-get source, fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage); we see:
