Bug 269719: net/geoclue: many Gnome programs will not start because geoclue is
old (libsoup2)
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269719



--- Description ---
Current version of geoclue (2.5.7 use libsoup (v.2).
This cause programs not to load:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269703
Also: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=269434

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/geoclue/geoclue/-/tags/2.7.0 says:
HTTP requests are now made via libsoup3.0 instead of libsoup2.4,

So I would expect upgrading would allows a few Gnome programs to start.
