Hi,
first time on this forum here. I just tried to install tryton and failed.
Two hosts, one for the server and one for the client, both Debian stable. The
server seems to run. I can provide further details on the installation, if
required. The client was installed as follows:
```
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian.tryton.org-archive.gpg \
http://debian.tryton.org/debian/debian.tryton.org-archive.gpg
echo 'deb http://debian.tryton.org/debian/ stretch-5.0 main' \
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tryton.list
cat <<'EOF' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/debian.tryton.org.pref
Package: *
Pin: release o=debian.tryton.org
Pin-Priority: 999
EOF
apt update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
apt install tryton-client -y
```
The problem: When I open tryton and click on “Manage…” the following
error appears:
```
ERROR:tryton.common.common: File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/tryton/gui/window/dblogin.py", line 519, in profile_manage

When I enter the actual login data and click “Connect” I get:

Any clues what might be the issue and how to fix that?
Tryton 5.0.4

It looks like your version of gdk-pixbuf is buggy. At least the introspection does not use the right constructor for Gdk.PixbufLoader without parameter.

Thanks for the quick response. It’s a stock debian stable system. No other
repos used than the one mention in the OP.
The project seems to have quite a few Debian installations since you’re
running your own repo. That’s actually why I went with Debian thinking it’s
well supported and tested. I wonder if I’m the only one running into this.
What’s the recommended way to go about this? How did others fix the issue?

The client starts on a debian testing system. So you’re right regarding a bug. It would be nice to know if there’s a workaround for a debian stable, though.

I run tryton from source on debian stable. No such problems encountered.

@fmorato Which libgdk-pixbuf version do you have? It fails here with `libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-2+deb9u2`.

Same version here. Weird that it fails for you. Maybe it’s an issue with the packaging? I don’t understand enough of packaging to know if it would interfere in this way, though.

It may be a problem with pygobject which is responsible of introspection. Otherwise it may be that the file `/usr/share/gir-1.0/GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir` is not right.

Just tried it on a debian live VM and it’s definitely reproducable. Steps to
reproduce:
Boot debian live (stretch), then:
```
sudo su -
wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/debian.tryton.org-archive.gpg \
http://debian.tryton.org/debian/debian.tryton.org-archive.gpg
echo 'deb http://debian.tryton.org/debian/ stretch-5.0 main' \
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tryton.list
cat <<'EOF' > /etc/apt/preferences.d/debian.tryton.org.pref
Package: *
Pin: release o=debian.tryton.org
Pin-Priority: 999
EOF
apt update && apt install tryton-client -y
exit
tryton
```
Then click “Manage…” and the abovementioned error appears.
@ced No such file present:
```
% ls /usr/share/gir-1.0/
CScreensaver-1.0.gir
% find / -name GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir
%
```

On my debian sid I don’t have the issue. But I do have the file for the introspection of gdxpixbuf:
```auto
nicoe@mirabelle:~% locate GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir
/usr/share/gir-1.0/GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir
nicoe@mirabelle:~% dpkg -S /usr/share/gir-1.0/GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir
libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev:amd64: /usr/share/gir-1.0/GdkPixbuf-2.0.gir
```

It works on debian sid and testing, but fails on stable. After installing the libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev package on stable the issue persists. That means the error unlikely resides in that file.
I guess it’s still about five to six months for debian testing to become stable. Then it’ll solve itself.
