[pkg-cinnamon] Bug#842253: nemo-python: Nemo python init failed

[Andreas Heinlein]

Package: nemo-python
Version: 3.0.0-2~bpo8+1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I have installed nemo-python and copied over one of the example extensions from
/usr/share/doc/nemo-python/examples to /usr/share/nemo-python/extensions.
Whatever you choose, it does not work.
Starting nemo from the commandline gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/module.py", line 320, in
__getattr__
    return getattr(self._introspection_module, name)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/module.py", line 139, in
__getattr__
    self.__name__, name))
AttributeError: 'gi.repository.Nemo' object has no attribute
'NameAndDescProvider'

(nemo:16310): Nemo-Python-WARNING **: nemo_python_init_python failed

My own extensions - which used to work until at least two weeks ago - also
stopped working.

I suspect that this is not really the fault of nemo-python, since it hasn't
been updated over the last months, but something in the gi-repository
introspection mechanism. I'm filing the bug here since I know no better place.
