Ubuntu 24.04 support

[roworu]

Hello. I found out, that on Ubuntu 24.04, that is planned to release in a few weeks, there is an issue during installation of dependencies:

sudo apt install python3-gi gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-webkit2-4.0

E: Package 'gir1.2-webkit2-4.0' has no installation candidate

But there is a newer package version, installed by default:

apt search gir1.2-webkit2 
Sorting... Done
Full Text Search... Done
gir1.2-webkit2-4.1/noble,now 2.44.0-2 amd64 [installed]
  Web content engine library for GTK - GObject introspection data

And therefore, we getting an error during startup due to this line in code:

gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0')

If I just change it to 4.1 program starts and working fine.

Do we need to just update requirements? Or remove this line?

AFAIK, not all distros ship webkit2 version 4.1, so there might be reason to add additional check, if one of them (4.1 or 4.0) is presented.

@eitzenbe , as a temporal solution, you could just comment these lines:

try:
    import gi
    gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
#    gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0')
    from gi.repository import Gtk, WebKit2, GLib
except ImportError:
    try:
        import pgi as gi
        gi.require_version('Gtk', '3.0')
#        gi.require_version('WebKit2', '4.0')
        from pgi.repository import Gtk, WebKit2, GLib
    except ImportError:
        gi = None
if gi is None:

In gp_saml_gui.py file, usually located somewhere here:

/home/user/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/gp_saml_gui.py
