Description Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev

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

No, it doesn't work. 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
