Bug#511084: GFlags handling broken

[Wouter Verhelst]

Package: libglib-perl
Version: 1:1.211-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

At $WORK, I'm developing an application that makes use of GObjects and
libglib-perl for the perl bits of the project.

Part of the code uses GFlags.

Since the upgrade to 1:1.211-1, every time we try to access the value of
a GFlags variable (in a "print" statement, or using one of the
overloaded operators of the GFlags perl variable type), the following
error occurs:

CRITICAL **: gperl_type_flags_get_values: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_FLAGS (flags_type)' failed at /usr/lib/perl5/Glib.pm line 87.

Needless to say, the assertion should not fail; the variable is a GFlags
object, and the code works with the Lenny version of libglib-perl.
