[DRE-maint] Bug#941795: ruby-gnome: gio2 autopkgtest fails with gobject-introspection 1.62

[Andreas Henriksson]

Source: ruby-gnome
Version: 3.3.8-2
Severity: normal
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/ruby-gnome/ruby-gnome/issues/1296
Control: tags -1 + upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Please note that since the upload of gobject-introspection 1.62 to
unstable the ruby-gnome autopkgtests fails the gio2 test.

See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gobject-introspection

Log available at:
https://ci.debian.net/data/autopkgtest/testing/amd64/r/ruby-gnome/3078476/log.gz

Upstream seems to be aware of the issue and is working on a solution,
but it said that it will take time.

Other distributions (ubuntu, fedora) seems to have removed ruby-gnome
for the time being.

This issue is blocking gobject-introspection from entering testing,
which in turn blocks the entire gnome 3.34 transition which is currently
ongoing. Given that processing transitions is a very scarce resource
please treat this with urgency to get gobject-introspection/transition
unblocked.

Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
