In addition to the pigobject not being present or available, similarly 
with another dependency; GTK.

 From the About window for the installed GRAMPS;

"
GRAMPS: 5.1.5
Python: 3.10.12 (main, Aug 15 2025, 14:32:43) [G...
BSDDB: 6.2.9 (5, 3, 28)
sqlite: 3.37.2 (2.6.0)
LANG: en_GB.UTF-8
OS: Linux
Distribution: 5.15.0-153-generic
"

Apparently, 6.x is not compatible, and, bugs and possibilities for 
improvements in 5.1.5, flourish.
