This matches the original error message, but thinking about it again I would suggest changing it to something like
error('readline >= @0@ was not found'.format(readline_version))
because the specifics of the symbol are not important here, we just happen to be using it as a witness.
Most of the error messages could use some rewording and I feel that it should be done separately.
Right. For some reason I mistakenly thought you were re-introducing an error message that was missing from the Meson rewrite, but I see now you're just moving it, so I completely agree with you. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
