Bug#764446: gir1.2-gweather-3.0: Typelib not found because it is in wrong location

[Bart Libert]

Package: gir1.2-gweather-3.0
Version: 3.14.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I recently noticed the gnome-shell extension 'panel world clock' stopped working suddenly. Logs indicated the following:

"Error: Requiring GWeather, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'GWeather' (any version) not found"

However, the correct package was installed. Also, just doing 'imports.gi.GWeather' in a gjs console gives the same
problem.

Some investigation shows that the file 'GWeather-3.0.typelib' is installed in the following directory on my system:

/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/girepository-1.0

Other typelibs are installed in:

/usr/lib/girepository-1.0

After creating a symlink to GWeather-3.0.typelib in that directory, everything works fine.

Package content also contains the /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/girepository-1.0 path. Wheezy package contains
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0 instead.
