New comment by eli-schwartz on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/42657#issuecomment-1460152595 Comment: > This also fixes some problems with meson calling Python's `platform` for host information in Void build containers (which don't install `runit-void`). The thing is that meson still doesn't read this file as far as I can tell, not even by the platform module, since the only function that attempts to read it is `platform.freedesktop_os_release()`. Not that it's a bad idea to move the os-release file, but I still don't understand how it's even possible to get a meson error here.
