Bug Description

Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable 2.76 series

The current release in Ubuntu 23.04 is 2.76.1

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/blob/2.76.4/NEWS

Test Case 1
-----------
glib has an extensive test suite.

Failing tests will fail the build.
This update will also trigger a lot of autopkgtests.

Ensure that there aren't autopkgtest regressions triggered by this update and that the builds complete successfully

Test Case 2
-----------
Pretty much all parts of GNOME use GLib, so test anything in the desktop that you can. If you reboot the machine and can get to the desktop, that's already tested GLib extensively. But also run applications like the terminal, the file browser and epiphany-browser

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
This update contains fixes in multiple places so multiple apps could be affected. The consequences of a broken GLib can range from some functions returning bad results sometimes, which have minimal runtime implications, up to the system simply crashing all the time.

Other Info
----------
The upstream gnome-remote-desktop maintainer requested that we do this update to fix a frequent gnome-remote-desktop crash that shows on errors.ubuntu.com

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted glib2.0 into lunar-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/2.76.4-0ubuntu1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-lunar to verification-done-lunar. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-lunar. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.
