Bleachbit: Bleachbit on Fedora 31 does not start without pygobject3

[TheJuli]

Starting Bleachbit from the shell shows no signs of life, and no single error popup.

Starting it then from the terminal, the error thats displayed is:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/bleachbit", line 38, in <module> import bleachbit.GUI File "/usr/share/bleachbit/GUI.py", line 34, in <module> import gi ImportError: No module named gi

After installing pygobject3 package, bleachbit starts succesefully.

This looks like the bug documented in the known issues section of the release notes.

Did installing pygobject3 also install python2-gobject?

[TheJuli]

Yes, it did

Edit 1: More precisely python2-gobject and python2-gobject-base
Edit 2: Sorry for extra ticketing this issue again. I had not seen the known issues section in the release notes beforehand

[az0]

OK, no worries.

I am working on getting a maintence release out soon to avoid more confusion, and for now you have a workaround

I published this fix in BleachBit 3.1.0 beta. Perhaps you could test and write back here with any comments about how it addresses your issue.
