Thanks all for discovering and debugging this, I somehow missed this
thread and haven't been able to keep up with the mailing list for the
last couple days.

I see 4451a164e5a (install meson for Documentation job, 2025-03-14) has
been merged, but as far as I understand we also have to take Karthik's
patch to fix installing dependencies? In case I'm correct, do you plan
to send this as a proper patch, Karthik?
