Known issue, looking into how to solve it. The problem is cawbird seems to be not looking for valac* (so any valac+version) if you create and ln -s valac-0.52 valac everything seems to work agian.

Looked into the meson.build but cannot find the valac hard coded in there. Could use some help creating a patch for this.

Create the valac symbolic link in /usr/lib64 forgot to add that

[Comment 5 gjdijkman 2021-10-25 10:06:20 UTC]

Found the issue and should now be fixed in the current release
