Package: libsoup2.4-1
Version: 2.28.1-3
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Liferea crashes inside libsoup library. 
Functions that causes this problem are apparently called in this order:
dispose -> stop_idle_timer -> g_source_destroy
I think that sometimes g_source_destroy destroys source already
destroyed. To prevent this, I have made a small patch. It might be
useful, but I can't assure that it's correct. It's based on git
repository, but it applies cleanly on libsoup 2.28.1-3.
