There are going to be a lot of FTBFSs like this, affecting most of GNOME.

If this is i18n.merge_file(), then Meson 0.60.1 is likely to make that
into a deprecation warning instead of a fatal error:
<https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/9445>

(We'll still need to fix these at some point, of course.)
