Package: libdex-1-1
Version: 1.2~beta-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Control: affects -1 + manuals
After upgrading libdex-1-1 to version 1.2~beta-1, manuals can no longer
launch:
(process:1470144): GLib-GObject-ERROR **: 17:18:22.686: cannot create new
instance of invalid (non-instantiatable) type '<invalid>'
Thread 1 "manuals" received signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap.

foundry-init.c:173 is the call to dex_promise_new() here:
DexFuture *
foundry_init (void)
{
FOUNDRY_ENTRY;
if (g_once_init_enter (&init_promise))
{
g_once_init_leave (&init_promise, dex_promise_new ());
_foundry_init ();
}
FOUNDRY_RETURN (dex_ref (DEX_FUTURE (init_promise)));
}
Possibly caused by this:
+ * Dropped the gconstructor for `dex_init()` which means applications must
+ call `dex_init()` at startup themselves from `main()`.
which is an incompatible change.
If it's that, then we'll need to update packages that use libdex to have
that initialization call, and then give libdex a versioned Breaks on the
older versions.
Reporting this as RC to prevent the new libdex from migrating before
we're ready for it.
