Found another problem:

When building libsoup, I get:
CSWlibsoup: symbol-not-found libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.1.2.0

libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.1.2.0 is the binary file and there are two links to 
that file, libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.1 and libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.
SONAME for that lib is libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.1 so why checkpkg complains 
about not finding libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.1.2.0 I can't see.

Also, in the package I've included the libraries from the current 
libsoup and libsoup2 packages and for one of those libraries I get the 
same error
