Source: gnome-mahjongg
Version: 1:48.0-1
Severity: serious
Tags: ftbfs

gnome-mahjongg fails to build from source in unstable when enabling the
nocheck build profile. A build ends with:

| Program gtk4-update-icon-cache found: YES (/usr/bin/gtk4-update-icon-cache)
| Program update-desktop-database found: NO
| 
| ../meson.build:43:6: ERROR: Program 'update-desktop-database' not found or not executable
| 
| A full log can be found at /build/reproducible-path/gnome-mahjongg-48.0/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/meson-logs/meson-log.txt
|         cd obj-x86_64-linux-gnu && tail -v -n \+0 meson-logs/meson-log.txt
| ==> meson-logs/meson-log.txt <==

Consider dropping <!nocheck> from desktop-file-utils.
