GLib setup hook expects GSettings schemas to be installed in ${!outputLib} and tries to move them to gsettings-schemas/$name subdirectory to prevent conflicts. But the schemas will only end up in the library output when the build system recognizes makeFlags set by the setup hook, and in that case the move is not necessary, since the flag already includes the subdirectory. Normally, this is not an issue, since most packages relying on GSettings schemas either still use Autotools with gsettings.m4, or do not have a lib output set. But with the promulgation of multiple outputs in Nixpkgs and more and more projects switching to Meson, the issue will become increasingly common. We first noticed this problem with nm-applet.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
