Subject: 3.51.0 breaks ibus-anthy

Date: Sat, 01 Mar 2025 15:38:53 +0200

Source: python3-gi
Version: 3.51.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear maintainer,

Upgrading to 3.51.0-1 breaks my Japanese IME that I use through ibus-anthy.
Downgrading python3-gi and python3-gi-cairo to 3.50.0-4+b1 reliably fixes this.

With the problematic version the IME stays selectable but the input remains English-only.
The following errors are logged in the system journal while trying to type in the Gnome text editor for example:

  Mar 01 15:22:29 viljandi gnome-shell[2594]: Gio.IOErrorEnum: Timeout was reached

    @resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/init.js:21:20

When I initially noticed the issue the IME had disappeared from my input method list and there was the following error in the system log:

  Mar 01 15:01:33 viljandi sh[12405]: Traceback (most recent call last):

  Mar 01 15:01:33 viljandi sh[12405]: ValueError: Namespace Anthy not available

It seems to have been logged by the org.freedesktop.IBus.session.GNOME.service user service.
I've not been able to reproduce this particular error anymore.
After downgrading and upgrading python3-gi the IME now stays and only results in the first error snippet.

Is this breakage intentional in the new version?
Should I barking up the anthy or ibus-anthy tree?

All the best
Raul

FYI for ibus-anthy maintainers too since I'm not sure which it belongs to.
And I initially accidentally assigned this to src:python3-gi, which is at fault.

Subject: pygobject 3.51.0 breaks ibus-anthy

Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2025 16:35:11 -0400

pygobject 3.52 is in Experimental because it is known to be broken.

I am closing this bug because the master bug for this issue is
https://bugs.debian.org/1099164 and I do not like how the Debian Bug
Tracking System handles merged bugs.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha

This turns out to be because ibus-anthy installs Anthy-9000.typelib to 
the legacy location /usr/lib/girepository-1.0/Anthy-9000.typelib.

Older versions of pygobject used libgirepository-1.0 from 
src:gobject-introspection, which has a Debian-specific patch to search 
the legacy pre-multiarch typelib location, but new versions of pygobject 
in experimental use libgirepository-2.0 from src:glib2.0, which does not 
yet have an equivalent patch (I'm adding one now).

We should fix this in src:glib2.0 before doing the transition to the new 
pygobject.

The same issue caused an autopkgtest regression in isenkram with the new 
pygobject, because it couldn't load 
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/PackageKitGlib-1.0.typelib.

We should also do a mini-mass-bug-filing to ask these remaining few 
packages to move their typelibs to the proper place.

Control: tag -1 pending

Hello,

Bug #1099192 in glib reported by you has been fixed in the
Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit
message below and you can check the diff of the fix at:

https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/glib/-/commit/942df2e93cdf8e16d2c63ae9afcefbbf8adc0ace

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add patch adding support for the legacy pre-multiarch typelib path

This avoids pygobject 3.54 and gjs 1.86 being unable to load typelibs
from that legacy location, which caused an autopkgtest failure in
isenkram and a runtime failure in ibus-anthy.

Closes: #1099192

     - Various bug fixes backported from 2.87 development
   * d/control: Bump Breaks on gnome-shell to 48.5-3.
     The testing migration software appears to be better at identifying
     suitable upgrade paths for A Breaks B (<< b) than it is at doing the same
     when B Depends A (<< a).
     (In this case, "A" is glib2.0 and "B" is gnome-shell.)
   * d/control: Increase Breaks on awesome to a version that really existed.
     Its compatibility with newer gir1.2-glib-2.0 was fixed in 4.3-8,
     and there was never a 4.3-7.1 upload.
   * d/control: Remove Breaks/Replaces on packages older than Debian 12.
     We only support single-release upgrades (Debian 12 -> 13 -> 14)
     so we certainly don't need Breaks on Debian 11 packages.
   * Upload to experimental to avoid disrupting #1115340
