Review of attachment 361211 [details] [review]:

No, this is wrong:

  - the theme sources are in a git submodule

  - we include the generated CSS to not depend
    on sassc

Whether or not you have sassc installed has nothing to do with whether or not you ran `git submodule update --init`.

I suspected as much, thanks.

In that case the bug remains valid, but the fix should be for someone to document what you just said...
Comment 4 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 14:04:01 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of  gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
