Tried in os8 and wikipedia fails to start

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/types.py", line 261, in mro

raise TypeError('Cannot create a consistent method resolution '

I have now seen the same error in Browse, changing the component to Browse

Hi Tony,

this should be due to #3497, can you check? I can use Wikipedia Activity with the workaround that is in comment 15 in that ticket.

Thanks for testing.

Firstly an apology, my documentation is not good. I got the 'method resolution order' crash in 1 of 1 attempts starting Wikipedia Activity. I have no idea of its frequency of occurrence in the Wikipedia Activity. I also got it once in Browse, it is not the usual reason for Browse to crash, Browse crashes a lot for me but with different error messages.

Just now I tried Wikipedia EN Activity V33.5 OS9 XO-1.75, the mozilla plugins deleted as in #3497

In 3 tries, Wikipedia is slow to start and brings up a 'failed to start' notification
but does start, it has errors 'error root starting server database' and 'pallettewindow.py line 501 nonetype object has no attribute set_invoker.
When closed, the 'failed to start' notification remains

but in these 3 tries, I have not seen the 'method resolution order' bug which was the original subject of this ticket

Fixed long ago. If needed, reopen.
