Bug#659222: [python-gi] Latest Version unusable (import gi produces a stack trace)

[Bastian Venthur]

Package: python-gi
Version: 3.1.0-1
Severity: grave

Hi,

python-gi is completely unusable, at least on my system. Just importing
gi produces the following stack trace.

>>> import gi
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 23, in
<module>
    from ._gi import _API, Repository
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/_gi.so: undefined
symbol: g_value_set_schar
>>>


Cheers,

Bastian
