indeed, thanks for the quick reaction !

Hi! Looks like we’ve found the issue/bug (thanks @czoido ). With the download cache enabled, the Conan client is hitting URL https://conan.bintray.com/v1/conans/meson/0.57.2/_/_ which is not expected. Now we need to evaluate short and mid-term fixes.

Thanks for your report!

Quickfix (workaround).- Disable the download cache.
