[Pkg-sugar-devel] Bug#877812: python-jarabe: desktop does not start, requires WebKit 3.0 API, uses WebKit2 4.0 API

[James Cameron]

Package: python-jarabe
Version: 0.110.0-5
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Sugar desktop does not start, and ~/.sugar/default/logs/shell.log has

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
    exec code in run_globals
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jarabe/main.py", line 61, in <module>
    gi.require_version('WebKit', '3.0')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 118, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available' % namespace)
ValueError: Namespace WebKit not available

Package correctly declares dependency on WebKit2 4.0.

Source code incorrectly declares a dependency on WebKit 3.0 in
jarabe/main.py, yet uses WebKit2 4.0 in jarabe/view/viewhelp.py

Fixed upstream by removing the require_version call, and was released
in Sugar 0.111.

Workarounds are;

1.  install gir1.2-webkit-3.0, or

2.  delete the require_version call from jarabe/main.py
