Bug#1051373: libglib2.0-0: 2.77.3-1 breaks Midnight Commander extension file

[Michael Gold]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.77.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading libglib2.0-0 from 2.77.2-1 to 2.77.3-1, I'm no longer
able to open files by selecting them in Midnight Commander and pressing
Enter.  A change in the behaviour of g_key_file_get_string() appears to
be the cause.  For example, one section of the mc.ext.ini file contains:
	[pdf]
	Regex=\.(pdf|PDF|ps|djvu)$
	Open=pdf %f &

With the new package, a call to g_key_file_get_string() for the "Regex"
value returns NULL.  If I pre-load the old library version, it returns
the string, and mc executes the specified command if I press Enter with
a PDF file selected.

The package version of "mc" is "3:4.8.29-2".

- Michael
