that indicates some missing apt setup/sources. What build-dep does is download
the source file of the package, look at it's build description for the .deb
package and then install the requirements listed in there. In your case, it
fails at the 'download the source' stage which indicates that one of your
repositories is either disabled or doesn't provide the source.

no, these have a tendency to be out of date and not in sync with the code. The
meson.build file is the authoritative source, so worst case just work through
the missing packages one-by-one.

at least yum/dnf can do a dnf install /usr/bin/dot and have the rest work
magically. I think apt has a similar feature.
