The new "libsoup" library in rawhide, version 2.3.0, introduces a lot of
API incompatibility, comparing with the previous 2.2.x versions. There
are even some design changes, hence it seems impossible for package
maintainers to do "just a monkey job" of renaming functions etc. In my
case of "libtranslate" (which depends on libsoup), it requires a deep
upstream intervention (which, surely, was not in upstream's todo list...)
It could be fine to have "libsoup22" or "compat-libsoup-2.2" package in
rawhide.
