I do.  I think I got confused with the description of GTlsFileDatabase:

"GTlsFileDatabase is implemented by GTlsDatabase objects which load
their certificate information from a file. It is in interface which TLS
library specific subtypes implement."

I had not remembered that a type's prerequisite would list types that it
would derive from and not the other way around, sorry.

That's fine.  I've removed TlsFileDatabase from the list of sources to
be built:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/glibmm/commit/?id=e28f5093dced2e8cafef5795c02657b7265b78ca

I guess it can be re-added (and maybe modified) in the future when it is
more clear how the class should be used.
