Bug Description

Impact
------
There is a new bugfix release in the stable series associated with GNOME 42

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gjs/-/blob/1.72.2/NEWS

The current version of gjs in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is 1.72.0.

2 of the bugfixes from 1.72.1 are already in Ubuntu 22.04. One of the others fixes a memory leak.

Test Case 1
---------
Install the update
Log out
Log back in
GNOME Shell should still work well

Test Case 2
-----------
Verify that the gjs apps still run ok:
- gnome-books
- gnome-characters
- gnome-maps
- gnome-sound-recorder
- gnome-sushi
- gnome-weather

Test Case 3
-----------
gjs has build tests and autopkgtests (installed tests). Those should all complete successfully.

What Could Go Wrong
-------------------
GNOME Shell is the heart of the Ubuntu desktop experience. gjs is a key component of GNOME Shell.

A severe enough bug could mean that people are unable to use their desktop version of Ubuntu.

Smaller bugs could interrupt people's workflows.

gjs is part of core GNOME and is included in the GNOME micro release exception

Hello Jeremy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gjs into jammy-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gjs/1.72.2-0ubuntu1 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-jammy to verification-done-jammy. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-jammy. 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.

I installed from jammy-proposed (1.72.2-0ubuntu1) and played with Gnome Shell and all the Gnome applications listed in test case 2. They all worked fine.

I also successfully built the package from source with debuild, and meson test passed all tests.
