libsoup-gnome is deprecated for years (in favor of libsoup). Looking to configure.ac and README files, it looks like the dep is optional and could be avoided setting HAVE_LIBSOUP_GNOME=no Could it be checked? Thanks
I'll look into it.

So after the change claws-mail have an automagic dep on libsoup-gnome: !!! existing preserved libs: >>> package: net-libs/libsoup-gnome-2.52.2 * - /usr/lib64/libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.1 * - /usr/lib64/libsoup-gnome-2.4.so.1.7.0 * used by /usr/lib64/claws-mail/plugins/fancy.so (mail-client/claws-mail-3.13.2) Use emerge @preserved-rebuild to rebuild packages using these libraries
`libsoup` and `libsoup-gnome` dependencies has been removed in https://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=commitdiff;h=e2e7f63c6a0a762dd8d823eb29ad850e665317ff . So, https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/29804 can be merged.
