FAILED: meson-install - gnome

Question

I want to install the totem app from the source GNOME code.
I cloned source code for totem app from GNOME github, and compiled with messon and ninja commands, and all of that was successfully compiled.
The problem is when I call command meson install, at one point it breaks off.
The steps I followed:
git clone https://github.com/GNOME/totem.git
cd totem
meson builddir
ninja
ninja test
cd ..
meson compile
cd builddir
sudo ninja install
Error which occured:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Note: I tried on two PC (ubuntu 20.04), and on one PC it works, and other I got an error.

It looks you are missing one of the build dependencies for totem: itstool (converts xml localization (language translations) data); dependent through usage of i18 module here. You can install it with
sudo apt-get install itstool
Here is the list of other required dependencies (latest or another package versions may or may not work though).
