Possible reasons include: The reason is that it and protobuf 3.24.2 need abseil 20230125.0 or newer. While it is available in experimental, it doesn't export scoped_mock_log targets for cmake. Hence it is not found, I don't know if newer versions like 20230802.0 fix this issue or not. Can you comment on this Benjamin and if you are going to package it soon and/or accept someone as a co-maintainer for abseil? It seems abseil 20230802.0 became available and should be packaged.
