While "apt --build" exists in terms of "apt source -b" this isn't used
here… as there really exists a "apt-build" package I am happy to pass it
on (yeah for uncontrolled namespace), but I feel obligated to mention
that this package is orphaned for years.

So as a tip for the reporter: Try if you can "handroll" what is done
here as in "apt build-dep" & "apt source -b". If that fails as well its
not a problem with apt-build and you can hand this report back to
inkscape (given that a package should usually build from source).
Although it might still be an issue with your system they will know best
how to make sense of failing builds of their packages.

I don't speak español (guessed by report using es_ES) but that sounds
like "No such file or directory exists". Something like PATH issues,
missing dependencies or something like that perhaps.

Having a quick look at the open bugreports against apt-build suggests
that this could also be an instance of #358730 if apt-build really
continues even if build-dependencies aren't satisfied (I can envision
that to be a source of all sorts of fun).
