[Claudio Sacerdoti Coen]

Package: mypaint
Version: 1.2.0-4
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Starting mypaint on Wayland:

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Just launch it

   * What was the outcome of this action?

It does not start (see backtrace above)

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

It should start.

Note: the bug was reported and fixed upstream some time ago.
I tried compiling mypaint 1.3.0-alpha (from upstream git repository) and
it works perfectly.
