I'll try to fix it as it stops my current work.

It turned out that I used libsoup from master. It will hit us in future, but not now. Resolved/invalid.

This can be fixed now to make it compile happily with both old and new libsoups though; just add an appropriate SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED to the CPPFLAGS to tell it what the oldest version of libsoup you want to be able to compile against is, and that will tweak things so that only functions that were deprecated as of that release get the __deprecated__ attribute.

Eg, if you currently depend on libsoup >= 2.38, you'd add

  -DSOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED=SOUP_VERSION_2_38

I didn't realize this, but it was fixed at Bug 145154
