[Bug 2066860] [NEW] Oracular: Glib 2.80.1 breaks IBus support: unable to type ~`àéè... chars

[Matthieu Baerts]

Public bug reported:

Note: a new version is coming: I'm creating this bug report mainly to
help others identifying the issues.

With Glib 2.80.1, I'm no longer able to type special characters like
~`àéè, etc.

The bug has already been fixed upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/3353
It is part of the 2.80.2: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/releases/2.80.2
2.80.2 is in the proposed repo: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0

This bug is particularly annoying if you have such special characters in
your password, it affects all apps using Glib 2.80.1. So the apps
installed from Snap are not affected as they are using an older version
of Glib.

Workaround:

  sudo apt install libglib2.0-bin=2.80.0-6ubuntu1
gir1.2-glib-2.0=2.80.0-6ubuntu1 libglib2.0-data=2.80.0-6ubuntu1
libglib2.0-0t64=2.80.0-6ubuntu1 gir1.2-glib-2.0-dev=2.80.0-6ubuntu1
libglib2.0-dev=2.80.0-6ubuntu1 libgirepository-2.0-0=2.80.0-6ubuntu1
libglib2.0-dev-bin=2.80.0-6ubuntu1

(or install the packages from "proposed")

** Affects: glib2.0 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Committed

** Changed in: glib2.0 (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Committed
