At launch 3 warnings are displayed and then rhythmbox hangs indefinitely. ``` $ rhythmbox /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gi/module.py:57: Warning: cannot register existing type 'GIRepository' repository = Repository.get_default() /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gi/module.py:57: Warning: g_once_init_leave_pointer: assertion 'result != 0' failed repository = Repository.get_default() /usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gi/module.py:57: Warning: g_object_new_with_properties: assertion 'G_TYPE_IS_OBJECT (object_type)' failed repository = Repository.get_default() ``` Downgrading python-gobject to 3.50 solves the issue. # Additional info: * package version(s): 3.52.3-2 * config and/or log files: N/A * link to upstream bug report, if any: none I'm not sure whether it's an issue with rhythmbox or python-gobject. In one hand, rhythmbox has not changed since 2024/11/12 and therefore the issue might be on the python-gobject since it's caused by upgrading it to 3.52. On the other hand, Gimp works fine although it also depends on python-gobject. On my system cache I only have python-gobject versions 3.50.0-1, 3.50.0-2 and 3.52.3-2. I haven't tested it against versions 3.52.2-1, 3.52.2-2 and 3.52.3-1. I'm not sure either if this is a packaging or upstream issue. I looked at both rhythmbox and python-gobject issues list and didn't found anything that sounds related. I also looked at the python-gobject change log and haven't found anything that sounds related. I therefore assume this might eventually be a packaging issue, although I don't know how to explain it. - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pygobject/-/issues - https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues - https://pygobject.gnome.org/changelog.html # Steps to reproduce: 1. upgrade `pacman -Suy` 2. start `rhythmbox`: it stalls indefinitely 3. downgrade `pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-gobject-3.50.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst` 4. start `rhythmbox`: it works
