Dear maintainer
the current gnome-music program dosn't start at all under Debian
testing/sid [14/sid].

Going back to 49.1-x restores the functionality (nothing else changed).

Hello,

I confirm the "bug" which is also on my system.

Yet, this occurs only because the package requisites miss 'gir1.2-tsparql-3.0'
(as stated in the error message).

A quick workaround:

#> sudo aptitude install gir1.2-tsparql-3.0


But, the package maintainer should add a new dependency to gir1.2-tsparql-3.0.

Regards

tsparql-3.0'
Thank you very much for the workaround. It works here also!
