[Bug 829186] Re: Mixes static and GI library bindings

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package oneconf - 0.2.5

---------------
oneconf (0.2.5) oneiric; urgency=low

  * oneconf/hosts.py: Don't use gi.repository.Gio, as we are using static
    bindings here still (gtk, gobject, etc.); call "gsettings" instead. This
    can be put back once the GUI etc. gets ported to GI, and we switch to the
    ported software-center. (LP: #829186)

Bug description:
  This is a tracking bug for fixing programs which will crash with a
  newer pygobject >= 2.90. This is now absolutely zero tolerant against
  importing both the static and the GI version of a particular library.
  This was mostly the case with 2.28 as well, but did work in some cases
  (like "import gobject; from gi.repository import Gtk", in particular
  for "glib" and "gobject"). These now cause errors as well.

  See bug 828751 for some more information for this.
