Bug#890209: vapicheck: CRITICAL **: assertion 'self != NULL' failed

[Paul Wise]

Package: valac
Version: 0.39.7-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/vapicheck
Control: found -1 0.38.7-1

The vapicheck program prints four assertions no matter which file is
loaded. I believe these are defects in vapicheck itself rather than the
files that vapicheck is checking.

$ vapicheck
Usage: vapicheck library.gidl
$ touch foo.gidl
$ vapicheck foo.gidl

** (process:31239): CRITICAL **: vala_collection_get_size: assertion 'self != NULL' failed

** (process:31239): CRITICAL **: vala_list_get: assertion 'self != NULL' failed

$ apt-file search -I dsc .gidl
