Sorry I seem to have run the wrong script there.  Right one run now and
package in -updates.

Title:
  update-apt-xapian-index-dbus fails because of wrong import

Status in apt-xapian-index package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apt-xapian-index source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Test Case]
  1) run /usr/share/apt-xapian-index/update-apt-xapian-index-dbus
  2) Observe it terminate with an error and does not update the index
     "Failed to import 'No module named 'glib'', can not use dbus"

  With the version from proposed it should not exit with this error.

  [Expected result]
  1) sudo rm -rf /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/
  2) make sure no other instance of update-apt-xapian-index-dbus is running
  3) run sudo /usr/share/apt-xapian-index/update-apt-xapian-index-dbus
  4) leave u-axi-dbus running, and run kcmshell5 kcm_driver_manager
  5) u-axi-dbus produces no output (instead of the failure message), and after some time /var/lib/apt-xapian-index/ is created and populated again and the driver manager shows suggested packages instead of "collecting information" (see also bug #1530523)

  [Regression Potential]
  It doesn't work at all, so this'll be an improvement.

  Mai 09 15:42:11 bear dbus[1017]: [system] Activated service 'org.debian.AptXapianIndex' failed: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1

  The correct import should be:

      from gi.repository import GLib as glib
      from gi.repository import GObject as gobject
