[SOLVED] dconf package does not build with meson 0.52

I'm in the process of recompiling (most of) the system, and ran into a snag with dconf. Linker errors due to multiple definitions.

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.I had a sneaking suspicion that it was a configuration problem rather than a problem with the source (especially seeing as Pat successfully compiled it on Sept. 19), and I kept my previous meson package just in case of situations like this.

It built fine using meson 0.51.2

I have not had any other build problems with meson 0.52 so now that I got this dconf package built, I am going back to my current meson 0.52 package.
