Looking at the error, it seems lang/gjs errors out missing this GLib
version 2.0 (and not foliate directly).

In the commit history for lang/gjs I see during the  "*: more
gobject-introspection clean-ups", lang/gjs lost the runtime dependency
on gobject-introspection (since it shipped GLib-2.0.typelib) before
the split (correct me if I am wrong here) and glib2-introspection
became TOOL_DEPENDS
-  https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/c0b54aac56a3580640ca32237ec1c2eb4940fa9f#diff-7916e8fa36a01988cdf7c70e6f3e1ed04ad675ea7ef79f6f889bcd4956813303

wiz@ do you think glib2-introspection should be DEPENDS in lang/gjs?

The quick fix for print/foliate can be to add glib2-introspection, but
I feel this might be the wrong fix.

Let me know what you think.
