[Bug 1502173] Re: Python warnings: modules imported without specifying a version first

[Brian Murray]

I was unable to recreate this problem on Ubuntu 17.10. Can you provide
some more details about the version of apport you have installed or what
exactly you are seeing?

bdmurray at impulse:~$ apt-cache policy apport
apport:
  Installed: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.5
  Candidate: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.5

Title:
  Python warnings: modules imported without specifying a version first

Status in apport package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apport source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Description]
  Users receive warnings about importing of python modules without a version being specified.  While this isn't a big deal in itself we get lots of bug reports from people about this issue since it is so obvious.  Given that Ubuntu 16.04 is an LTS release we should fix this and prevent further reporting of the issue.

  [Test Case]
  1) run /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk in a terminal
  2) Observe the following

  /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: Wnck was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('Wnck', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
    from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk
  /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk:16: PyGIWarning: GdkX11 was imported without specifying a version first. Use gi.require_version('GdkX11', '3.0') before import to ensure that the right version gets loaded.
    from gi.repository import GLib, Wnck, GdkX11, Gdk

  with the version of apport in -proposed you'll no longer receive the
  warning.

  [Regression Potential]As with any SRU this could cause a regression in
  the software if the fix is typo'ed so review it carefully.  If there
  isn't a typo and then the chance of a regression is very very very
  low.
