Cmake error if ACTS_BUILD_PLUGIN_ACTSVG=ON

[DraTeots]

Bug prerequisites

1. When ACTS v21.1.1 is built with flags:

     cmake -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/user/acts/acts-v21.1.1 
     -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 
     -DACTS_BUILD_PLUGIN_TGEO=ON 
     -DACTS_BUILD_PLUGIN_DD4HEP=ON 
     -DACTS_BUILD_PLUGIN_JSON=ON 
     -DACTS_BUILD_PLUGIN_ACTSVG=ON  
     /home/user/acts/src/v21.1.1&& cmake --build . -- -j 4&& cmake --build . --target install
   

2. Cmake message confirms installation of Actsvg plugin:

4. Acts successfully compiled and installed

What goes wrong

Our reconstruction framework using Acts have this in cmake:

find_package(Acts REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core PluginIdentification PluginTGeo PluginDD4hep)

it gives an error:

-- loading components:
--   Core
--   PluginActSVG
--   PluginIdentification
--   PluginJson
--   PluginTGeo
--   PluginDD4hep
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:77 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /home/romanov/eic/soft/acts/acts-v21.1.1/lib/cmake/Acts/ActsConfig.cmake

  but it set Acts_FOUND to FALSE so package "Acts" is considered to be NOT
  FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  The following imported targets are referenced, but are missing:
  actsvg::core actsvg::meta

(A bit confusing that it prints loading PluginActSVG when not asked but OK probably, right?)

What I have tried

1. Build actsvg on my system, add it to cmake and LD paths
2. Used -DACTS_USE_SYSTEM_ACTSVG=ON and played with ACTSVG related flag combinations

What goes as expected

Building with -DACTS_BUILD_PLUGIN_ACTSVG=OFF makes everything work

@asalzburger did you encounter this problem?

@DraTeots is this still an issue, with the current version?
