Description André Klapper 2010-06-01 12:55:51 UTC 
Vala uses g_mapped_file_free() which is deprecated.
See http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/RemoveDeprecatedSymbols/Glib

For example (not necessarily a full list):
./gobject-introspection/gmetadata.c:    g_mapped_file_free (metadata->mfile);
Comment 1 Luca Bruno 2010-06-02 09:36:53 UTC 
Refcounted MappedFile exists since 2.22, it may be early to drop _free for _unref.
Comment 2 Luca Bruno 2010-06-12 08:58:09 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in Vala version 0.7.10. If you compile against GLib 2.22, ref() and unref() will be used instead of free() with MappedFIle. Same for other deprecated API. Please reopen if needed.
