Bug Description

Binary package hint: liferea

Liferea cannot handle fetching HTTP content with Content-Encoding: gzip, instead choosing to complain that the feed is not readable. The attached patch enables libsoup's content decoder feature, which parses this and handles other Content-Encodings as well.
