Latest stable update broke gedit

Support Software & Applications
1

With the latest stable version, gedit gives this message on starting up:

(gedit:57084): libpeas-WARNING **: 15:08:50.767: Failed to load module 'python3loader': /usr/lib/libpeas-1.0/loaders/libpython3loader.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

(gedit:57084): libpeas-WARNING **: 15:08:50.767: Could not load plugin loader 'python3'

All gedit plugins that use python3 are disabled.

The directory /usr/lib/libpeas-1.0/loaders/ only has a single file now: liblua51loader.so.

How to get libpython3loader.so again?

Gedit and plugins version 48.1.

Same problem here with xed (updating from libpeas-1.36.0-6 > 1.36.0-7)

For now, use the Gedit Flatpak if you want working plugins. See No more Pythons in gedit | Gedit Technology blog
