gnome-builder crashes when trying to open project

Question

When I try to open a project in gnome-builder, whether it's by clicking one of the projects on this screen it starts up on (I have put a big black box over some more private stuff):

Or if I use the New button and select an already existing project, it just closes. And over the course of the time that I started the application I have been getting these errors in Terminal:

And when I ask it to open a project it exists with this final error message:

22:15:39.0312               gb-greeter-window[13410]:  WARNING: Typelib file for namespace 'Ggit', version '1.0' not found

So am I just doing something wrong or is this a bug which I should report?

From the looks of it, you're using an experimental PPA to install GNOME Builder, and bugs are to be expected. If you want to debug it and narrow down the problem further, you could install debugging symbols and give us a backtrace (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash). — John Scott, Jan 02 '16 at 00:26
@FuzzyToothpaste: How exactly do I install the debugging symbols? Because I tried to install `gnome-builder-dbg` as it suggested, but it said that the package could not be found. — , Jan 02 '16 at 12:16
You're using Ubuntu 15.10, which means you don't have -dbg packages anymore. Have a look at the Ubuntu Wiki here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash#Non-built-in_debug_symbol_packages_.28.2A-dbgsym.29). However, you got GNOME Builder from a PPA, and I'm not sure if ddebs are built for PPAs. — John Scott, Jan 02 '16 at 18:48
@FuzzyToothpaste: Seems to have been due to a missing dependency (see [answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/741525/364819) for details)! — , Mar 03 '16 at 13:44

The reason Gnome Builder crashes is that it has a dependency on a Git library but it's not automatically installed when you install Builder (it's this bug specifically). You can get your Gnome Builder to run by manually installing the gir1.2-git2-glib-1.0 package from the repositories for now with:

sudo apt-get install gir1.2-git2-glib-1.0
