We have the following bug reported to the Debian package of
Glib-Object-Introspection (https://bugs.debian.org/828737):
It doesn't seem to be a bug in the packaging, so you may want to take
a look. Thanks!

Package: libglib-object-introspection-perl
Version: 0.040-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
On my machine, the following code:
eval {
Glib::Object::Introspection->setup(
basename => "Notify",
version => 0.7,
package => "Fdpowermon::Notify",
);
}
if ($@) {
print "notify setup failed: $@\n";
}
produces:
notify setup failed: Typelib file for namespace 'Notify', version '0,7' not found at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.22/Glib/Object/Introspection.pm line 108.
The obvious reason is that version is not "0,7", but "0.7"; in the dutch
locale, a comma is used as a decimal separator, rather than a point.
Passing the version number as a string rather than a number fixes the
problem -- but I think that shouldn't be necessary.
