[SOLVED] Gnome Music fails to run

I installed gnome-music 1:48beta-1 from the official repository but when I try to launch it it fails with this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gnome-music", line 45, in <module>
    gi.require_version('GIRepository', '2.0')
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 132, in require_version
    raise ValueError('Namespace %s not available for version %s' %
                     (namespace, version))
ValueError: Namespace GIRepository not available for version 2.0

Does anybody have an idea what could cause this?

Update: I found out that the issue is being adressed here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-mu … te_2388353

I guess I'll have to wait until a new build arrives in the repository, or is there anything I can do to fix this myself?

Re: [SOLVED] Gnome Music fails to run

As a workaround, you could edit /usr/bin/gnome-music and set the required GIRepository version to 3.0 (line 45).
