[Bug 1028640] Re: session-installer crashed with TypeError in _on_property_changed(): could not convert type dbus.Array to PyObject required for parameter 0

[Martin Pitt]

This is a really tricky one. sessioninstaller/core.py imports both "gst"
(which pulls in the static gobject binding) as well as a lot of GI
modules, so crashes will happen in all kinds of cases :-(

As Steve says, it seems to have worked better when aptdaemon used the
static gobject module as well; this is no guarantee to work, but might
be an appropriate workaround until we finally get gstreamer 1.0 (which
is introspectable).

** Package changed: aptdaemon (Ubuntu Quantal) => sessioninstaller
(Ubuntu Quantal)

** Changed in: sessioninstaller (Ubuntu Quantal)
       Status: Triaged => In Progress
