Title:
  [SRU] New stable release 1.64.1

Status in gobject-introspection package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gobject-introspection source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [ Description ]

  GNOME upstream have released a new stable version of gobject-
  introspection.

  Changes:

  1.64.1 - 2020-04-05
  -------------------

  * Replace calls to deprecated xml.etree.cElementTree removed in Python 3.9 :mr:`202` (:user:`Stephen Gallagher <sgallagher>`)
  * gimarshallingtests: Use g_assert_cmpfloat_with_epsilon. Fixes tests on some architectures :mr:`200` (:user:`Iain Lane <iainl>`)

  [ QA ]

  GNOME has a micro release exception that covers this package.

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/GNOME

  So we don't need to verify the fixes explicitly.

  Do this:

    - Install the update, smoke test some of the reverse depends (apt rdepends libgirepository-1.0-1 and more importantly the indirect rdepends via python3-gi)
    - Run "reverse-depends -b src:gobject-introspection" and test rebuild a few of them

  [ Regression potential ]

  g-i being broken will break pretty much the whole desktop, but you'd
  know that quite fast.

  The .py changes, if they're wrong or bad, could break the build of r
  -build-deps.
