[solved] Gmusicbrowser won't start with perl 5.22

[Einhard]

I've updated perl from 5.20.2 to 5.22.0 yesterday and I got this trying to run gmusicbrowser (same result with 1.1.14 and git version):

Edit:
It seems perl-glib-object-introspection on my config wasn't rebuild properly when updating. Did it manually once more and gb started correctly and everything works fine now.

Thanks for reporting this. I'm glad it works, I'll fix the "Unescaped left brace in regex is deprecated" warnings.
I'm not sure about the first error, about DBus, did it work before and does it work now or not ?

I just didn't have perl-net-dbus installed so it's natural this kind of error emerged, it's not critical thing (program runs fine without it) and I never needed it anyway so I didn't even notice it to this day. When installed there is no error and DBus control works.

I have the exact same second error on 64-bit Arch system. How did you manually rebuild the perl-glib-object-introspection on your config? Thanks.

I think simply reinstalling the perl-glib-object-introspection package from AUR should do the trick.

Perfect! Thank you very much!
