on the last line "Requires.private:" remove "iconv", save file... move on.
Proper fix needs to be worked out upstream, but rather than re-building Slackware packages, that enables you to do whatever building you need. Nothing I've built has ended up broken locally afterwards, but take my uneducated advice with a grain of salt.

This worked for me as well but the fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz package is quite different now compared to before the libarchive update.
As I posted above, the fwupd.SlackBuild failed for me too.
Removing iconv from /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libarchive.pc and running fwupd.SlackBuild did not fail.
However, there are 186 fewer or changed files now compared to the same fwupd SlackBuild before the libarchive update.
If anyone cares, I've got a Unified Diff on the fwupd Package Files before and after.
Paraphrasing your warning: Buyer Beware
Not a member of the Slackware Team but I imagine Pat and the Team will apply proper fixes to libarchive as soon as possible.
HTH.

For the record, yesterday's libarchive update for Slackware 15.0 fixed the iconv issue when executing fwupd.SlackBuild.
Thanks to Pat and the Team !

But I compiled and installed this package about a month ago (Slackware64-15.0) (before the libarchive fiasco):
Code:
# ls -l /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-2_SBo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 150138 Nov 14 15:12 /var/lib/pkgtools/packages/fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-2_SBo
EDIT: USER ERROR -- I messed with the meson options in fwupd.SlackBuild last week and did not restore the original SlackBuild
Thanks drumz.
Yes, the copy of fwupd-1.7.10-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz-old-libarchive.tgz that I build before the libarchive update includes libjcat so and include files but this morning's Package built with the new libarchive does not.

This is the Package created with the old libarchive.
