[ QA, testing, regression potential ]

Under the GNOME MRE, you can believe all bugs upstream says are fixed are really fixed. Just test the system and make sure there are no regressions (e.g. look at errors.ubuntu.com).

Hello Iain, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glib2.0 into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.48.1-1~ubuntu16.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

It is working perfectly for me after install glib2.0 from proposed.
I tested it for several days.
