Description
When installing the cereal package, the project gets installed but cereal-config.cmake subsequently removed, see here:
tools.rmdir(os.path.join(self.package_folder, "share"))
However, without this file, CMake cannot find the cereal package when using the conan_paths.cmake toolchain file. Everything works as expected if the line above is removed.
@stilgarpl actually already noted the issue in this comment in PR #881 but it seems like they did not yet open an issue to discuss about it.

Logs (Include/Attach if Applicable)

CMake error at find_package(cereal REQUIRED):
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:52 (find_package):
By not providing "Findcereal.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "cereal", but
CMake did not find one.
Could not find a package configuration file provided by "cereal" with any
of the following names:
cerealConfig.cmake
cereal-config.cmake
Add the installation prefix of "cereal" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"cereal_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If "cereal"
provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
installed.

I’ve open a feature request to Conan: https://github.com/conan-io/conan/issues/7352 I think these are details that cannot be added to
cpp_infomodel, but we can workaround them usingbuild_modules, wdyt?Yes, several libraries don’t define namespace, I’ve pointed some issues with current behaviour in conan: https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/issues/2144#issuecomment-654179166
