            Bug ID: 255980
           Summary: REGRESSION(263216 at main): [JHbuild] Cannot build with
                    minimal moduleset on Ubuntu 22.04
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2

When building with the minimal moduleset on Ubuntu 22.04, I got the following build error:

```
Found CMake: /usr/bin/cmake (3.22.1)
Run-time dependency gstreamer-video-1.0 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
Looking for a fallback subproject for the dependency gstreamer-video-1.0

../../Source/gst-libav-1.18.4.tar.gz/meson.build:88:0: ERROR: Neither a subproject directory nor a gst-plugins-base.wrap file was found.

Failed to build WPE port dependencies with jhbuild

```

Ubuntu 22.04 satisfies all the required dependencies provided by the GStreamer moduleset through system libraries. In theory, the pkg-config tag should prevent installing the modules provided by GStreamer if a more up-to-date version of that package is available through system dependencies. However, some modules lack a .pkg file so it's not possible to do this in all cases.

An alternative solution could be to restore the former jhbuild-minimal moduleset and add a new one which also includes the gstreamer modules. Those systems that cannot satisfy gstreamer dependencies through system libraries can use this new minimal-plus-gstreamer moduleset.
