[Pkg-mpd-maintainers] Bug#838084: mpdris2: Fails to start without gir1.2-notify-0.7 installed

[Mirosław Zalewski]

Package: mpdris2
Version: 0.7+git20160705-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

mpDris2 fails to start if python3-gi is installed, but
gir1.2-notify-0.7 is not. This will usually be a case for people who opt 
out of installing recommended packages (unless gir1.2-notify-0.7 is 
pulled in as dependency by something else).

The root cause is gi module raising uncaught exception in
require_version method:

#v+
$ mpDris2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./mpDris2.in.py", line 55, in <module>
    gi.require_version('Notify', '0.7')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 118, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace Notify not available
#v-

This issue has been reported upstream
(https://github.com/eonpatapon/mpDris2/issues/80) and fixed in master
commit 3c3fe12.

Best regards,
Mirosław Zalewski
