Package: libgnome2-canvas-perl Version: 1.002-1 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
The libgnome2-canvas-perl package in Debian unstable was apparently built against version 2.10.0 of libgnomecanvas2, but that library has since been upgraded to 2.12.0. There is a minor API change in the library (requested by the Perl module author). The Perl wrapper code can work with either API but unfortunatelys the API version is detected at compile time. sThe result is that various canvas objects (eg: bezier path) simply don't work and the following messages are written to STDERR: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_param_spec_boxed: assertion `G_TYPE_IS_BOXED (boxed_type)' failed GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_class_install_property: assertion `G_IS_PARAM_SPEC (pspec)' failed More details here: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2005-December/msg00012.html I have confirmed that no patch is required. Simply rebuilding the package resolves the problems.
