Requested 'libsoup-2.4 >= 2.27.4' but version of libsoup is 2.26.3

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBSOUP_CFLAGS
and LIBSOUP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

However this is totally incorrect as I have libsoup2.4 installed. Here is the
output of locate libsoup

As you can clearly see I have libsoup 2.4 installed and the problem occurs
because of two empty directories that I can't seem to sudo delete in my distro.
There are really two ways you can fix the problem that I can see. 

1. You can start the search alphabetically thourgh the directories so it will
arrive at libsoup 2.4 first. 

2. The configure script can keep searching  after it finds libsoup 2.26 to see
if I have a later version of libsoup installed. I hope you take this bug
seriously and thank you for your time. somedude
