There are some libraries that were updated in nixpkgs 25.11 but which Collabora gtimelog doesn't support newer versions of. Building gtimelog from 25.11 will get you an error that looks like this

From using nix-locate we can see that cairo-1.0.typelib is in gobject introspection 1.84.0...
$ nix-locate cairo-1.0.typelib
gobject-introspection.out 0 s /nix/store/i6asc7b7ws92inj5bqvmdbcs3n77dknz-gobject-introspection-wrapped-1.84.0/lib/girepository-1.0/cairo-1.0.typelib

...but search.nixos.org tells us that gobject-introspection is at 1.86.0
Downgrading to 25.05 fixes this issue...
