Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build.

Below you will find how the build ends (probably the most relevant part,
but not necessarily). If required, the full build log is available here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202509/

About the archive rebuild: The build was made on virtual machines from AWS,
using sbuild and a reduced chroot with only build-essential packages.

If you could not reproduce the bug please contact me privately, as I
am willing to provide ssh access to a virtual machine where the bug is
fully reproducible.

If this is really a bug in one of the build-depends, please use
reassign and add an affects on src:gnome-builder, so that this is still
visible in the BTS web page for this package.

Thanks.

Control: tag -1 pending

Hello,

Bug #1114128 in gnome-builder 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/gnome-builder/-/commit/29e632f5c2bf2eb63c0f6f4140ebeda715380163

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add missing build-dependency on libgirepository-1.0-dev

Unusually, gnome-builder really does need libgirepository, not just the
gobject-introspection toolchain.

Until recently, this was presumably pulled in by one of our dependencies
having a -dev dependency on the transitional libgirepository1.0-dev
package.

Closes: #1114128

Changes:
 gnome-builder (48.2-2) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload
   * Add missing build-dependency on libgirepository-1.0-dev.
     Unusually, gnome-builder really does need libgirepository, not just
     the gobject-introspection toolchain.
     Until recently, this was presumably pulled in by one of our
     dependencies having a -dev dependency on the transitional
     libgirepository1.0-dev package.
     (Closes: #1114128)
   * Override Lintian tags for BuilderBlocks.ttf.
     It is not a general-purpose font: it displays every non-whitespace
     character as a small block, and is intended for providing an overview
     of source code when zoomed out far enough that individual letters
     would be unreadable.
   * d/copyright: Don't quote the FSF's former postal address here
   * d/copyright: Update
   * d/control: Standards-Version: 4.7.2 (no changes required)
   * d/control: Remove Rules-Requires-Root, no longer necessary
