Description:
Attempt to install anjuta with pacman fails with complaint that libsoup isn missing. Same pacman reports libsoup exists and is of the required version.

Additional info:
pacman is version v3.4.0 - libalpm v5.0.0
desired ajunta 2.30.2.1-1 (current on arch website)
existing libsoup is 2.30.0-1
note: the ajunta page shows many dependencies but not explicitly mentions libsoup.

Steps to reproduce:

ROOT 0 0=> pacman -S anjuta
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: libsoup-gnome: requires libsoup=2.30.0
ROOT 0 1=>
ROOT 0 1=> pacman -Qi libsoup

Hmm, weird. Note that libsoup is 2.30.2 in the repositories. I can install this version without any dependency problems here.

pacman -Syu anjuta

still an issue?

(hmm, i sent a comment but it hasn't appeared here...)

Problem "solved" in that, once libsoup-gnome was updated, everything else went smooth for installing anjuta. Impression is something wasn't quite right about libsoup, libsoup-gnome, or anjuta's dependency information, causing pacman a rare moment of confusion.
