Somebody more clueful than me about how the CI dependency set-up is supposed to happen should rewrite the proposed log message altogether. The install-dependencies script pretends as if two case..esac blocks are orthogonal (the former switches on $distro, the latter that we see in the patch switches on $jobname), but I somehow do not get the feeling that we can move Documentation job from ubuntu-latest to alpine-latest for example.

In any case, the change seems to "fix" the issue for me

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] install meson for Documentation job

Why should we even do this? Doesn't it run on ubuntu-latest which has its own apt--get install for meson in the $distro specific set-up before this part?
