Description of problem: meld fails to run Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): meld-3.14.0-1.fc23.noarch How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. net install of Fedora 23 KDE Workstation 2. dnf install meld 3. run "meld fileA fileB" -> fails Actual results: Cannot import: GTK+ No module named gi Expected results: correct execution and GUI displays Additional info: Install of pygobject2-2.28.6-14.fc23.x86_64 seems to have fixed the problem. Missing dependency in meld rpm?
For a Fedora 23 GNOME box, I obtain the same error message despite pygobject2-2.28.6-14.fc23 being installed.
The issue is resolved by installing package python-gobject which should thus be added to the packages required by meld.
Bug is fixed in meld-3.14.0-2.fc23.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
