Old tests on libosinfo were relying on libsoup and that's the reason I
do believe the dependency was there.
Pino dropped the dependency a long time ago here:

Switch from libsoup to libcurl
libsoup is used to check the validity of URLs in distributions in
osinfo-db; OTOH it supports only HTTP(S), so this limits the checks to
that protocol.
To overcome this limitation, switch to libcurl: while it requires
slightly more code to do the same task, it provides a bit more
flexibility, and support for other protocols. No version check is
performed, since the APIs used are old enough.
Adapt also the README, and the packaging files.
```
However, libvirt-jenkins-ci was never updated.
Alright, I'll keep your commit message as is but I'll add
The native build already depended on libsoup because it was never
updated after libosinfo switched its test suite from libsoup to
libcurl back in 2017.
and then push the series.
