All kinds of things broke for me on upgrading to Ubuntu edgy, for no  
apparent reason.

First, I’m getting a lot of these warnings:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55  
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*:g\_boxed\_type\_register\_static: assertion  
`g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55 GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **:g_param_spec_boxed: assertion `G\_TYPE\_IS\_BOXED (boxed\_type)’ failed  
GLib-GObject-CRITICAL \*\*:g\_object\_class\_install\_property: assertion  
`G\_IS\_PARAM\_SPEC (pspec)’ failed  
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/glib2.rb: line 55

Second, there’s this really annoying bug:

> **[Bug #66623 “warning: GRClosure invoking callback: already destro...” : Bugs :...](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ruby-gnome2/+bug/66623)**
>
> when running a glade application, and trying to use a callback for handling a signal, I get the above error:
> warning: GRClosure invoking callback: already destroyed
> 
> this is reported...

Does anyone know what’s going on?

Both of those problems were fixed in CVS.

Could you confirm those problems with CVS version of  
Ruby-GNOME2?

## Thanks,
