Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.20.2-1.el8 How reproducible: always, as long as python3-gobject is not installed Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure python3-gobject is not installed 2. run meld from console, e.g. meld dir1 dir2 Actual results: Many error messages "TypeError: Couldn't find foreign struct converter for 'cairo.Context'" on console, no comparison in GUI. Expected results: Comparison is shown in GUI.
Thanks for reporting this issue Uwe, indeed, this slipped through unnoticed on my side. I'll provide an updated package ASAP.
Thanks for the prompt feedback.

Uwe, it would be great, if you could test the updated package and provide positive karma (see the above link to Bodhi). Thanks, Oliver
Removed python3-gobject, installed https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/meld/3.20.2/3.el8/noarch/meld-3.20.2-3.el8.noarch.rpm. python3-gobject was pulled in as dependency. Looks good. Cannot log in to https://id.fedoraproject.org/login/fas to give "thumbs up" as my Red hat credentials don't work there. Thanks again!
Uwe, yes, FAS is different from the RH creds. But thanks for letting me know it works as expected! This was an EasyFix - my pleasure :-) Oliver
