Makie Precompilation failed in Linux

Hi,

Starting this morning, when I test my package on Linux that relies on packages with Makie extensions, precompilation fails with the following error messages:

Precompiling for configuration --code-coverage=@/home/runner/work/TestParticle.jl/TestParticle.jl --color=yes --check-bounds=yes --warn-overwrite=yes --depwarn=yes --inline=yes --startup-file=no --track-allocation=none --check-bounds=yes --compiled-modules=yes --depwarn=yes

This only happens in the CI for Linux, but not for Windows or Mac. How can I solve this issue?

Complex workaround needed. Why?

Should be fixed by: FreeType2: Do not load HarfBuzz dynamically by eschnett · Pull Request #13382 · JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil · GitHub

That’s a quick fix! When should we be able precompile again with the correct version of glib? Is there a turnover time for these pushes?

Should be fixed once New version: FreeType2_jll v2.14.3+1 by jlbuild · Pull Request #151226 · JuliaRegistries/General · GitHub is merged, in 15 minutes or so (you’ll need to update your registry)

I was having this problem too, and once the above merged, the problem went away. Thanks for saving me a bunch of debugging by posting here!
