Re: Cinnamon 5 bugfix packages

Hello,

Running debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure, and taking the command it runs, dissecting the base meson command the issue boils down to Python and "KeyError: 'install_dir'". Since 5.0.4 build didn't fail AFAIK (It shouldn't have either as those commits didn't touch Meson), and checking tracker.debian.org/meson it is likely an issue with the new 0.60 release of Meson.

In fact; as I type it, it is. There is a regression (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998124). I will send an email confirming the bug as well, but that is what is going on. Nemo itself is fine.

Hi, today testing latest cinnamon components packages bugfix (for next uploads) I saw that nemo fails build on configure, is not a regression of latest commits because I saw that failed also on latest reproducible test with same error: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/nemo.html

I not understand what is exactly the error because pkg-config checks seems ok and only strange messages are:

Pkg-config binary for MachineChoice.BUILD is not cached.
Pkg-config binary missing from cross or native file, or env var undefined.

but after:

Trying a default Pkg-config fallback at pkg-config
Found pkg-config: /usr/bin/pkg-config (0.29.2)

So also pkg-config should be ok

maybe lately I'm too tired and trivial things escape me, can someone take a look and help me please?
