[SOLVED] Python-gobject 3.52.2-1 breaks VirtManager

When you upgrade python-gobject to version 3.52.2-1 and if you launch virt-manager, you cannot open any virtual machine.

Here is the output you get with python-gobject 3.52.2:

RuntimeError: unable to get value

Going back to python-gobject 3.50.0-2 fixes the issue.

Re: [SOLVED] Python-gobject 3.52.2-1 breaks VirtManager

It is solved by grabbing python-gobject 3.52.2-2. So, let's close this thread.
