Ah, ok, ignore me, I just found the problem.

I have been testing a few bits of software, one of which required libsoup.
Shortly after make uninstall'ing libsoup I built hardinfo.

Insert rant about make uninstall routines that remove everything except the pkgconfig file therefore screwing up the list of what appears to be installed.

Problem solved, user error :)
