Can not recreate GIR information from gir1.2-harfbuzz-0.0.typelib

[Abou Al Montacir <abou.almontacir@sfr.fr>]

Hi All,

Few weeks ago, I started adding support for Gtk3 in FPC and Lazarus as part of the effort to close bugs related to the deprecation of Gtk2.

My goal was to be able to build binding units (pascal modules) from .typelib files shipped by Debian.

In order to be able to do that, I use a tool called gir2pas that I'm maintaining.

I've added support for on the fly converting .typelib files using g-ir-generate.

However, when starting the conversion, g-ir-generate crashes with an error on HarfBuzz-0.0.

I've raised a ticket https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1035669 to that package, but I'm not sure it is an issue in HarfBuzz itself, and maybe it is in g-ir-generate itself.

The reason I'm write to debian-devel is to know if we want to enforce the fact that typelib files shall be able to regenerate gir files for Bookworm.

If this is the case, shall I raise severity to be release critical?
