It started failing when this commits where introduced (5ddef63...469430f) but I don't see anything relevant to the failure.

Continuous Integration, Release

[raulcd]

It is fixed if I pin gobject-introspection=1.78.1.

but doesn't seem to work with the newest 1.80, @kou any suggestion? Should I just pin?

[kou]

We need conda-forge/glib-feedstock#174 but it's still WIP.
So we can pin for now.

[xhochy]

This is resolved now and you should be able to remove the pin.

Thanks!
Let's try it! #41227
