Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.

RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2023-08-15 15:57:13 UTC

Hi, you're confused by the libsoup 3 compatibility cliff:

 * RHEL 9 uses libsoup 2 and webkit2gtk-4.0
 * RHEL 10 will use libsoup 3 (corresponding to webkit2gtk-4.1, though we won't provide WebKitGTK anymore at all)

There is no way libsoup 3 is coming to RHEL 9. If you really need it, you'll need to build it in EPEL. It's unlikely that GnuCash would be able to use it either, because it probably links to something else that depends on libsoup 2, and applications will crash if libsoup 2 and libsoup 3 are both linked together. What you really want to do is either (a) patch GnuCash to use libsoup 2 again, or (b) ship the last version of GnuCash prior to its switch to libsoup 3
