Compilation on the latest Ubuntu fails with Unknown scope type "forever"

[ilya-bobyr]

Checking out the source code, and running the following, produces an error.

❯ sudo apt install \
    pkgconf \
    gobject-introspection \
    libgtk-3-dev \
    libxml2-dev \
    libpango1.0-dev \
    zlib1g-dev \
    libgirepository1.0-dev \
    libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
    libgtksourceview-3.0-dev \
    libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev

❯ make

Error:

Apparently, this is due to an update in glib:

❯ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Release:        24.04
Codename:       noble

❯ apt info libglib2.0-dev
Package: libglib2.0-dev
Version: 2.80.0-6ubuntu3.1

There is a haskell-gi issue and a fix.

An update of the Stackage snapshot to the one that includes fixed haskell-gi: #252
