This looks like another apt ordering bug on upgrade:

libglib2.0-0 gets unpackaged properly:

Uitpakken van vervangende libglib2.0-0 ...

but the next time libglib2.0-0 comes up, it's when trying to configure a reverse dependency:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of python-gobject-2:
python-gobject-2 depends on libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.24.0); however:
Package libglib2.0-0 is not configured yet.

It seems that apt never configures libglib2.0-0 before trying to configure python-gobject-2.
