Bug#702603: libglib2.0-0: glib 2.35.4 breaks python-gi << 3.7.2

[Benjamin Berg]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.35.8-1
Severity: normal


Hello,

GLib versions 2.35.4 and above forbid modifying classes after they have
been created. This is upstream bug #687659 and commit ID c2055f22f4.

The problem has been fixed in newer pygobject versions. It was fixed
in 3.7.2. Upstream bug #686149, commit ID efcb0f9f.

I have now recompiled the debian python-gi version (3.4.2-3) for myself
with the patch applied. It applies cleanly and works fine.

Benjamin
