gobject-introspection was rebuilt as part of the libffi transition.
(That's where the +b1 part of the version name comes from.) The
transition is still in progress. Maybe the problem is that you didn't
have the rebuilt gjs installed?

The rebuilt gjs is version 1.68.4-1+b1

Here's the list of other packages involved in the transition:
