When I try to build pamac with vala-0.56.11, I got an error in /src/preferences_dialog.vala:123.5-123.22:

.\`\`\` ./src/preferences_dialog.vala:123.5-123.22: error: The name `set_child' does not exist in the context of` GLib.Object' (gobject-2.0) 123 | listitem.set_child (label); | ^<span dir="">\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~</span>

How to reproduce?

  • Grab pamac 11.6.0 source code
  • Try to build pamac with vala-0.56.11
  • Wait

I'm adding the full error log as an attachment.
