Description:

Recent upgrade to libgovirt 0.3.9-1 breaks virt-viewer with e.g.:

$ virt-viewer --help

(process:5129): libsoup-ERROR **: 19:47:41.009: libsoup2 symbols detected. Using libsoup2 and libsoup3 in the same process is not supported.
zsh: trace trap (core dumped) virt-viewer --help
$

Downgrading to 0.3.8-1 fixes the problem.

Upstream issue https://gitlab.com/virt-viewer/virt-viewer/-/issues/88 seems relevant.

Steps to reproduce: Presumably: install arch linux with virt-viewer, update all packages, run `virt-viewer`.

Hmmm, this could get a bit messy!

It appears virt-viewer is currently built against "rest" (librest-0.7.so) and is not quite ready to be built against its replacement which is "librest" (librest-1.0.so). "rest" depends on "libsoup" while "librest" depends on "libsoup3".

latest "libgovirt" was built against "librest" because it can no longer be built against "rest".

virt-viewer depends on "spice-gtk" which currently depends on "libsoup" because our outdated version of "phodav" depends on "libsoup".

If "phodav" was updated to latest and built against "libsoup3", "spice-gtk" could be rebuilt and therefore it would link against "libsoup3".

On a kinda sidenote, "libosinfo" is currently built against "libsoup" but it could easily be built against "libsoup3".

Clear as mud?
