glib-2.82.1

[Bruce Dubbs]

New point version.

I get a test failure:

GLib:ERROR:../glib/tests/gdatetime.c:2960:test_posix_parse: assertion failed (g_time_zone_get_abbreviation (tz, 0) == "PST"): ("LMT" == "PST")

(test program exited with status code -6)
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――


Summary of Failures:

1/1 glib:glib+core+slow / gdatetime ERROR            0.59s   killed by signal 6 SIGABRT

This now fails with glib-2.82.0 as well, but I'm pretty sure it didn't fail when I built glib-2.82.0 for the system. Thus the failure seems triggered by the change of another package (maybe tzdata?).
