These are the depencies which are not in extras, but can be found in 
extras-devel.

  libgnutls13: Depends: libopencdk10 (>= 0.6.5) but it is not installable
               Depends: libtasn1-3 (>= 0.3.4) but it is not installable

Also a source package would be nice, because libsoup has a lot of tags 
and branches in their svn. I tried to get xmlrpc-test.c working with 
your package from one of the branches, but it failed because 
soup-md5-tools.h or somesuch was missing.

What branch / tag is your package based on?
