You don't need to shout. The Gimp is not a Gnome package. It can use
Webkit for its help browser

I had already said on the Libsoup page that libsoup-gnome-2.4.so will
not be installed if libgnome-keyring is not installed. You removed
that. Libsoup does not require libgnome-keyring.

I don't install Gnome. I install libsoup because Webkit requires it. I
install Webkit so the Gimp builds its help browser. Simply repeating
"libsoup is a gnome-specific library" does not make it true. You are
wrong. Revert these mistakes.
