See subj. This belongs to both Vala and Genie implementations: reporter-cli/sql-pdf/vala/src/reporter_controller.vala and reporter-cli/sql-pdf/genie/src/reporter_controller.gs Look at the following block:

         * Note: The possibility to inject PDF metadata entries has appeared
         *       in Cairo 1.16, but even in Arch Linux the "cairo" package
         *       currently is just of version 1.14.8. And, of course, its Vala

In Arch Linux still there is Cairo 1.14.8 (as of 2017-03-13): https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/cairo/

[rgolubtsov]

In Arch Linux Cairo is already 1.16.0 (as checked on 2019-06-13): https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/cairo/

But in Ubuntu Xenial it is 1.14.6 and will be that: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/libcairo2 (Travis CI build is configured against Xenial.)
