[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Looks like the fix is still missing in 1.10.1-1

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

In progress (fix coming in 1.10.2)

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package libinput - 1.10.3-2

---------------
libinput (1.10.3-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * control: Update VCS urls.
  * control: Add more packages to libinput-dev Depends as a workaround for
    buggy meson/pkg-config. (Closes: #893067)
