Version: 3.38.1-1

Dear Maintainer,

Since a recent update I get this message in the log:

JS ERROR: Error: Requiring Gst, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Gst' (any version) not found
@resource:///org/gnome/Shell/Screencast/js/screencastService.js:6:33
@resource:///org/gnome/Shell/Screencast/js/main.js:4:31
start at resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/script/package.js:206:5
@/usr/share/gnome-shell/org.gnome.Shell.Screencast:1:17

I was able to fix this issue by installing gir1.2-clutter-gst-3.0,
this should be a dependecy of the package.

(Found this while looking for the reasons for some hangs,
not sure if this is related or if it causes any harm)
