[Bug 925382] Re: gsettings fails on setting all keys whose values are contained in []

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package glib2.0 - 2.31.14-0ubuntu1

---------------
glib2.0 (2.31.14-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream version:
    GResource:
    - GLib now includes a commandline utility, gresource, to explore
      resources in ELF files
    - The resource compiler can now optionally strip ignorable
      whitespace from XML resources
    - The resource compiler can now generate build dependencies
    - The resource compiler will now autoselect output formats
    GApplication:
    - The menu markup parser API has been dropped, the menu XML support
      lives in GTK+ now
    GValueArray has been deprecated
  * debian/libglib2.0-0.symbols:
    - new version update
  * debian/libglib2.0-bin.install:
    - list the new gresource command and its manpage
  * debian/control.in:
    - Breaks on gtk << 3.3.12, glib and gtk needs to be updated together
      due to the gmenu parser changes
    - Build-Depends on libelf-dev for the gresources tools, thanks ricotz
  * debian/docs:
    - dropped, no need to install ChangeLog and NEWS from the past century
  * debian/libglib2.0-bin.install:
    - ship the glib-compile-resources manpage, thanks ricotz
  * debian/patches/git_gsettings_lists_set.patch:
    - git patch, fix "gsettings set ..." command line issues (lp: #925382)

Bug description:
  Any attempt to use use gsettings to set a value that are  [] fails

  Test case example
  use gsettings get to show values for com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist 
  Try to reset using the same 'as' format, fails on error

  Ex.

  ~$ gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist 
  ['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service', 'Update-notifier']
  doug at doug-XPS-M1330:~$ gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Wine', 'scp-dbus-service']"

  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_type_is_maybe: assertion
  `g_variant_type_check (type)' failed

  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_type_is_array: assertion
  `g_variant_type_check (type)' failed

  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_type_dup_string: assertion
  `g_variant_type_check (type)' failed

  GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_type_equal: assertion `g_variant_type_check (type1)' failed
  0-49:can not parse as value of type `(null)'

  The same will happen for any key that uses same type,  []
