Platform and user environment
Please report your OS here:
$ uname -a
Linux storm 4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 16:19:09 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ lsb_release -d
Description: Linux Mint 19 Tara
This error should be also reproduceable on Ubuntu 18.04.1
I think this is not a major problem as error has to do with the building of the documentation. If I understand correctly, glib is attempting to use already existing gtk documentation in the system.
