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.
