[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Bug#1012390: Gajim 1.4.0 crashes at startup if gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 is not installed

[Grzegorz Szymaszek]

Package: gajim
Version: 1.4.0-1

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrading to Gajim 1.4.0, the program no longer starts correctly
and shows the crash reporting dialog instead. Here are the software
component versions listed in the dialog:
- OS: Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid testing (bookworm)
- GTK Version: 3.24.34
- PyGObject Version: 3.42.1
- GLib Version : 2.72.0
- python-nbxmpp Version: 3.0.1
- Gajim Version: 1.4.0
And here is the traceback:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gajim/gtk/application.py", line 233, in _startup
        from gajim.gui_interface import Interface
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gajim/gui_interface.py", line 74, in <module>
        from gajim.common.preview import PreviewManager
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gajim/common/preview.py", line 38, in <module>
        from gajim.common.preview_helpers import aes_decrypt
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gajim/common/preview_helpers.py", line 34, in <module>
        from gi.repository import GstPbutils
      File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/importer.py", line 136, in load_module
        raise ImportError('cannot import name %s, '
    ImportError: cannot import name GstPbutils, introspection typelib not found

Installing gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 makes it work again. gajim
currently recommends this package, perhaps it should depend on it?


All the best
