0001-meson-Fix-bindir-usage-in-install-script.patch
Passing a bindir different from prefix like e.g.
meson --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin
--libdir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libexec
--includedir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --mandir=/usr/share/man --default-library=shared
-Ddebug-gui=false -Dudev-dir=/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/udev
-Ddocumentation=false -Dlibwacom=false -Dtests=false
/var/tmp/paludis/build/sys-libs-libinput-1.10.0/work/libinput-1.10.0
to meson results in an install error later on:
[...]
--- /usr/bin/libinput-list-devices
--- /usr/bin/libinput-debug-events
--- No need to do anything for preinst phase
<span class="quote">>>> Checking whether we can merge to / ..................</span >
!!! Expected '/usr/bin' to be a directory but found a symlink to a directory
[...]
It should respect the bindir passed via meson configure and install to
/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin instead of /usr/bin.
There was aleady a patch proposed which still applies to 1.10.0 and fixed the
problem:

For completeness the patch is attached as well.</pre>
