With glib2 2.68 gdebi is an FTBFS (hangs)
Status in gdebi package in Ubuntu:

Status in gdebi package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Ubuntu https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdebi/0.9.5.7+nmu5 is an FTBFS
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/542966965/buildlog_ubuntu-impish-amd64.gdebi_0.9.5.7+nmu5_BUILDING.txt.gz
The same https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdebi/0.9.5.7+nmu4
worked as it was builds against glib2.0 2.66 back in the day.
Debian still works as they have 2.66 still
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=gdebi&arch=all&ver=0.9.5.7%2Bnmu5&stamp=1621453414&raw=0
At build time it is getting stuck until a timeout kills it:
Log:
```

This is reproducible locally and the process tree looks like:

From there the test is stuck.
Some debugging revealed that it does no more come back from:
GDebiGtkTestCase
-> test_lintian
-> GDebiGtk (init)
-> gio_copy_in_place
-> show_alert
That alert only happens because we run as root, but even if that is avoided
(e.g. by running as another user) then it blocks at the next message. E.g.
when failing to download.
But these blocking alerts are only secondary symptoms.
I've found that all issues come back to a check that seems wrong.
The test wants to copy a non-existing file into a temp path.
At least the current version of Gio.File hates this and errors out
g-io-error-quark: Operation not supported (15)
Maybe Gio was more tolerant in the past, but checking a non existing
file makes no sense anyway. We can guard that step a bit better than all
works.
A fix could look like:

I've proposed the same to the project [1], but I'm unsure about the speed this
is picked up there.
I've also filed this in Debian for them to be aware when the 2.68 switch
happens.
