Error after installing Glade 3.22 and trying to revert back to Glade 3.8

Hi,

I was in the process of installing Glade and did a 'Sudo apt-get install glade' which installed Glade 3.22. Realising that this is not compatible with linuxcnc2.8.2 i did 'sudo apt-get remove glade' and then 'sudo apt-get install glade-3'.

Glade itself works fine, however opening any glade components in linuxcnc or trying to include the gladevcp widgets in the glade editor fails with the following related to the python2.7 gladevpc libraries
"ImportError: When using gi.repository you must not import static modules like "gobject". Please change all occurrences of "import gobject" to "from gi.repository import GObject". See:  bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=709183 "

Is this possible to fix without doing a full clean? Or some workaround? Maybe there is residue of the Glade 3.22 still confusing the system?

Let me know if any more info is needed!

Thanks,
Kim

I did

sudo apt-get remove python-gi

Which in term removed linuxcnc-uspace

So after
sudo apt-get install linuxcnc-uspace

it seems to all be back to working order
