gufw not installing dependency python-gobject Xubuntu 16.04

[D L]

Freshly install Xubuntu 16.04. Install gufw. When attempting to run it, I got the following error:

root@discofish:~# gufw
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gufw/gufw/gufw.py", line 21, in <module>
    from view.gufw import Gufw
  File "/usr/share/gufw/gufw/view/gufw.py", line 19, in <module>
    import gi
ImportError: No module named gi

Package gufw was install from command prompt as such: 'apt-get install gufw'

After manually installing package python-gobject, gufw ran normally.

This was not the case with Xubuntu 15.10.

Clarification for the line "This was not the case with Xubuntu 15.10." - What I meant to say is that the behavior of the unresolved dependence upon installing gufw did not occur with Xubuntu 15.10. When I installed (last week) 15.10, gufw behaved properly from the beginning.
