In Ubuntu 18.04 after some time of usage, I got the following error when trying to start gnome-terminal:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal", line 9, in <module>
from gi.repository import GLib, Gio
File "/home/victor/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gi/__init__.py", line 42, in <module>
from . import _gi
ImportError: /home/victor/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gi/_gi.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: g_interface_info_find_method
Similar error occurs also when I try to launch gnome-tweaks or execute the command add-apt-repository.
However, when I try to run gnome-terminal from "open in terminal" menu of nautilus, it started normally.
The same error occurs also if I try to do in python3:
from gi.repository import GLib
I will be grateful for any advice.
Here is an additional output related to python3 parameters:
$ type python3; readlink /usr/bin/python3
python3 is /usr/bin/python3
python3.6
$ echo "$PYTHONPATH"; python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.path)'
['', '/usr/lib/python36.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.6', '/usr/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload', '/home/victor/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages', '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages']
Finally, I have found the cause of error. The library _gi.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so of python3.6 module gi depends on libgirepository-1.0.so from libgirepository1.0-dev package, but that dependence is not listed in the ELF header of the library. So, the workaround I have used is to add
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgirepository-1.0.so
to ~/.profile. However, I still don't understand, how may that happen and how to solve the problem in the right way. I am a novice in C programming and have found the solution after reading the excellent paper on library linking at http://www.kaizou.org/2015/01/linux-libraries/
