Details

Description:
The shotwell package installs a Ubuntu-specific apport hook which is useless on Arch Linux.
By adding `-D install_apport_hook=false` to the arch-meson command in the build function this hook can be dropped from the package:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/-/blob/master/meson_options.txt#L8. I've attached a patch for the current PKGBUILD.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
$ pacman -Q shotwell
shotwell 2:0.30.12-1
* config and/or log files etc.
N/A
* link to upstream bug report, if any
N/A

Steps to reproduce:
install shotwell and check /usr/share/apport
   shotwell.patch (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

I'd also recommend you submit an upstream bug report, they should NOT be installing this unless they detect the current OS is Ubuntu based. It shouldn't be a build system option.

@eschwartz Thanks for your response. I've opened an issue upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/-/issues/4928.
