Bug#756272: glib2.0: FTBFS from svn: ERROR: gvariant - exited with status 134 (terminated by signal 6?)

[Simon McVittie]

Source: glib2.0
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

While testing #755439 by running svn-buildpackage in an unclean
environment (my development laptop with many packages installed), I got
the error below. Repeating the build in sbuild produced the same error.

Regards,
    S
