Hi, sorry it take so long to reply... life happens :sweat_smile:

You may have noticed that the problem you are having is that lgi, a library needed by dbus_proxy, cannot be installed.

You may be able to install lgi directly into your GNU/Linux distribution.

Otherwise, you may be able to get more help on the lgi project: https://github.com/lgi-devs/lgi

Hope this helps! :crossed_fingers:
