Do you have any details on which of the BuildDependencies in turn requires meson (because Python itself does not)?
pkg-config has introduced a number of circular dependencies some time ago, and there is a PR for building a more
recent Python (3.10.10 atm) without pkg-conf https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/996 <https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/996>
but the debate has not been resolved yet whether to use pkgconf or ppkg-config as a replacement.
Also according to https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/996#issuecomment-1446313911 <https://github.com/fink/fink-distributions/pull/996#issuecomment-1446313911>
the pkg-config/glib2-shlibs dependency problem should have been resolved now (in any case I don’t see either of
them requiring meson to build).
