Trying to compile gi-gtk-declarative

I am new to GTK, but not to Haskell. I am currently running Arch linux.

I cloned gi-gtk-declarative, and did a checkout of the release-0.6.3 branch. I tried compiling with both stack build and cabal v2-build all, and both fail on gi-glib with the following error:

 > Unknown GIR element "docsection" when processing namespace "GLib", aborting.

How can I fix this? Is there a patched version of gi-glib?

This looks like an issue regarding version constraints:

As you can see, the author of gi-gtk-declarative needs to update his dependencies.

As a workaround, you can run stack build --allow-newer or cabal build --allow-newer which will bypass the version constraint.
