Build failure: All branches are failing due to latest PyGObject 3.52.1 now requiring gitrepository-2.0

[aaronpayment]

The build fails as sonic-host-services setup.py just pulls in an unversioned 'PyGObject' and on March 9, 2025 PyGObject v3.52.1 was released that now requires gitrepository-2.0 which is not present.

One option is to change sonic-host-servics to pin to a prior working 'PyGObject==3.50.0' in setup.py or we change the bookworm sonic-buildimage to include a gitrepository-2.0

The below patch should work.

Path from sonic-buildimage is src/sonic-host-services/setup.py

In case any of you facing the above issue and want to proceed with the same clone, then after applying the patch you may need to clean compile the following targets,

• sonic_host_services-1.0-py3-none-any.whl
• sonic-host-services-data_1.0-1_all.deb
• sonic-<platform>.bin <-- platform/arch specific

Although it looks like the fix suggested by @jemifdo would have also worked. Is anyone looking at submitting a PR for this?
