lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings seems broken

I get this on both my Solus Budgie machines:

❯ lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings", line 33, in <module>

    window = GtkGreeterSettingsWindow.GtkGreeterSettingsWindow(mode=window_mode)

gi.repository.GLib.GError: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file “/lightdm_gtk_greeter_settings-1.2.3.data/data/share/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/GtkGreeterSettingsWindow.ui”: No such file or directory (4)

The path seems wrong. I get:

❯ _ find / -iname "GtkGreeterSettingsWindow.ui"
...
/usr/share/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/GtkGreeterSettingsWindow.ui

I don't think it's something I borked up.

Please report this on the GitHub forum if you can. A quick workaround is:

sudo mkdir -p /lightdm_gtk_greeter_settings-1.2.3.data/data/share/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/
sudo ln -s /usr/share/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/GtkGreeterSettingsWindow.ui /lightdm_gtk_greeter_settings-1.2.3.data/data/share/lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings/

If the version changes, it won’t work.
