[Bug 1865907] Re: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Thanks for your report! I could reproduce the problem, which is a bit
weird because IBus was updated yesterday and the IBus input methods I
tested worked fine then...

Anyway, I see in the error message: "GLib version too old". So I
upgraded the libglib2.0-* packages to version 2.64.0-1 (from focal-
proposed) and that fixed the issue.

So it looks like we just need to be patient and wait for libglib2.0-* to
migrate to focal-release.
