Description Johnny A. Solbu 2017-01-22 22:30:28 CET 
Description of problem:

liferea needs glib-networking in order to parse https-encrypted feeds.
Without it it cannot parse https feeds.

A simpe «Requires:  glib-networking» fixes it.

Comment 1 Johnny A. Solbu 2017-06-05 10:04:37 CEST 
I have pushed an updated package to 5 updates testing repo.

Testing procedure:
Make sure glib-networking is not installed.

Install liferea, and add an https encrypted RSS feed.
  (You can use my site as a test: https://www.solbu.net/english/feeds/all.atom.xml )

The feed will not populate.

After installing the update, which will install glib-networking as dependency, the feed now populates.


Suggested Advisory:
========================
A missing dependency may result in liferea not being able to read https encrypted rss feeds.
This update fixes this.


========================

Updated packages in 5/core/updates_testing:
========================
liferea-1.10.11-3.1.mga5.x86_64.rpm
liferea-1.10.11-3.1.mga5.i586.rpm

Source RPM:   liferea-1.10.11-3.1.mga5.src.rpm

Testing M5 x64

Many thanks to Johnny for the test given in Comment 1. I take it that you tried it yourself.
Unable to uninstall glib-networking because it would have taken too much with it. So no point in installing liferea to try the given test. Instead, doing a Claire style package check:-

BEFORE potential update, normal repos:
 $ urpmq -i liferea
Name        : liferea
Version     : 1.10.11
Release     : 3.mga5
Source RPM  : liferea-1.10.11-3.mga5.src.rpm

 $ urpmq -d liferea | grep ^glib
glib2.0-common
glibc
--------------
AFTER potential update, Updates Testing enabled:
 $ urpmq -i liferea
[same as above; plus...]
Name        : liferea
Version     : 1.10.11
Release     : 3.1.mga5
Source RPM  : liferea-1.10.11-3.1.mga5.src.rpm

$ urpmq -d liferea | grep ^glib
glib-networking
glib2.0-common
glibc

OKing.
