pygobject ftbfs in 18.04 LTS

[Matthias Klose]

Impact
------
pygobject doesn't build from source which means someone would need to fix that problem before fixing any bugs in the pygobject package for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Test Case
---------
Does pygobject build successfully?

Regression Potential
--------------------
pygobject 3.28 is the intended version to match glib 2.56 but it missed the deadline for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. So this fix is cherry-picking a small commit to fix the build tests with 18.04's glib2.0 2.56.

The only change that is made in this upload is to the tests. There should be no effect on anything else.

Hello Matthias, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pygobject into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject/3.26.1-2ubuntu1 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 on 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-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

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

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

pygobject built successfully on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and the autopkgtests confirm that it still works.
