[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1063499: rust-gobject-sys FTBFS with nocheck build profile: cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/gir-1.0/GObject-2.0.gir': No such file or directory

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: rust-gobject-sys
Version: 0.18.0-2
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs trixie sid

rust-gobject-sys fails to build from source in unstable when built with
the nocheck build profile. Since trixie, a nocheck build failure is
considered release-critical. A build ends with:

|    debian/rules execute_before_dh_auto_build
| make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
| cp /usr/share/gir-1.0/GObject-2.0.gir /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>
| cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/gir-1.0/GObject-2.0.gir': No such file or directory
| make[1]: *** [debian/rules:8: execute_before_dh_auto_build] Error 1
| make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
| make: *** [debian/rules:3: binary] Error 2
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2

Please review the <!nocheck> annotations.
