Speaking for Windows, at least twice this year there were incompatibilities between _minor_ versions of Meson, due to admitted bugs in Meson. However, IMO this is an argument for using just _exact_ version, not necessarily an = old one. Pip facilitates this better than OS package manager, because developer controls the version and can easily switch, regardless of distro updates. Thus, John's upgrade suggestion and transition to pip both look reasonable.
