Details

Without mutter and gnome-shell installed, gnome-control-center crashes when the user clicks on the multitasking panel, because it tries to read some settings from unavailable schemas:

$ gnome-control-center
(gnome-control-center:24552): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 18:12:01.460: Settings schema 'org.gnome.mutter' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

$ gnome-control-center
(gnome-control-center:24715): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 18:13:55.068: Settings schema 'org.gnome.shell.app-switcher' is not installed
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

This is a problem if someone use gnome-control-center outside of GNOME Shell (e.g. in GNOME Flashback), so please add gnome-shell to dependencies to avoid this crash.

I had to revert this for GNOME 45 because a build dependency cycle between gnome-shell and gnome-control-center made building gnome-shell with a new mutter impossible.

You can add gnome-shell to the depends+=() array inside of the package() function, so it won't be installed during build.

That doesn't help because it's gnome-shell that fails to build, not gnome-control-center.

And gnome-shell needs gnome-control-center to check() successfully, so it needs to be installed during build.

I opened an upstream issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2691
