Bug description

I tried building warpinator from source but did not manage to get it built. I received the following error:

Installing data/org.x.Warpinator.appdata.xml to /build/warpinator-1.8.8/debian/tmp/usr/share/metainfo
Installing data/warpinator-send.nemo_action to /build/warpinator-1.8.8/debian/tmp/usr/share/nemo/actions

Steps to reproduce

I built the source package from git in a Debian sid ppc64 sandboxed chroot.

Expected behavior

It should build correctly as I have all build depends.

Additional information

No response

Reproduce the source-package build in the Debian sid ppc64 chroot and start with debian/rules and the Meson install step that reports the missing src/grpc file. Check how the src/grpc path is referenced during installation; done means the ppc64 package completes its build and install without the FTBFS error.
