Bug#1032457: cairomm1.16 nocheck FTBFS: ../meson.build:170:2: ERROR: Problem encountered: Building the test programs requires Boost Test, version 1.33.1 or higher and Fontconfig

[Helmut Grohne]

Source: cairomm1.16
Version: 1.16.2-3
Severity: important
Tags: ftbfs
Justification: nocheck ftbfs bugs will be serious after bookworm

cairomm1.16 fails to build from source when built with the nocheck build
profile. The error message from meson is:

../meson.build:170:2: ERROR: Problem encountered: Building the test programs requires Boost Test, version 1.33.1 or higher and Fontconfig.

Please either reduce <!nocheck> annotations or add suitable meson flags
such that it really doesn't need the relevant dependencies.

Note that nocheck ftbfs bugs are not considered release critical for
bookworm and older, but are considered release critical for trixie and
higher. Unless the change is simple, this should not be fixed for
bookworm.
