Thanks for the report and information everyone. >From what I can see, the problem is that gitg doesn't depend on gir1.2-peas-1.0 since installing this resolves the issue. I've created a small patch which adds this dependency and have opened a merge proposal which will fix the issue in Ubuntu 15.04.
In Ubuntu Wily, the package has been resynced from Debian and already includes this dependency so things should already work there, see http://packages.ubuntu.com/wily/gitg for details. Does anyone know whether older releases might be affected too, or whether this issue was introduced in 15.04? ** Tags added: packaging vivid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1446746 Title: git not showing commit summary on 15.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gitg/+bug/1446746/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
