Description
A bunch of things didn't go smoothly and needed some hacking and poking, but the one that caused most burnt time was in the ./sugar-jhbuild build step where it complains about missing libsoup-2.4 for telepathy-salut.
I found a bunch of past email and a closed ticket about it, but no one said where/how they actually got 2.4 (the yum reps don't have it), some suggested 2.4 came with some other random install they had made (Epiphany?). I tried both manually building from 2.4 from source, which seemed to have no effect; I then tried yum install libsoup-devel, which also seemed to have no effect. I tried skipping the module for now, but I got a heap of fails a little further on and decided to ctrl-c the whole build attempt.
After a reboot (due to some resolution issues I needed to fix in the VirtualBox VM), I just tried the build again and this time it succeeded – not which step had actually resolved the libsoup issue.

Having only just got jhbuild running I was a little worried about breaking things :-) but I uninstalled the libsoup binary package I'd manually added; then did a jhbuild update, build, and run. I saw jhbuild download libsoup, and everything re-built and seems to be running just fine. Thanks Sascha!

With the latest jhbuild, I'm seeing this now.
Steps:
- Installed a clean Fedora 10 from the LiveCD into a new VirtualBox VM.
- Ran yum update to update the system.
- Cloned sugar-jhbuild.
- Ran yum install ./sugar-jhbuild depscheck
- Ran ./sugar-jhbuild build.
- Errored about libsoup-2.4.
- Dropped to shell.
- Ran yum install libsoup-devel
- Exited shell, install continued fine (failed later with gabble issue).

I just found an undeclared dependency of telepathy-gabble on libsoup-2.4 and fixed it. This could be part of your problem.
libsoup-devel is 2.2 and thus too old, you can safely uninstall it.
Please update and try again.

Closing this as it seems fixed here, wadwb please do reopen if it is still an issue for you!
sugar-jhbuild should now build libsoup from source on Fedora. Please uninstall the binary packages and try again.
Warning: This is my first try at adding modules to sugar-jhbuild, so it may cause any kind of damage. :)
