Broken gnome after dbus 1.0.2

[gillan_cz]

I am using gnome 2.16 and i updated dbus to 1.0.2. There is no dependency in portage tree, but all gnome stuff is now broken. It uses old dbus 0.62. I tried rev-dep, but evolution-data-server is always failing compilation, becouse it uses gnutls 1.2.2 which are NOT in portage tree anymore! I found some topic, that solved my problem, but soutions was downgrade from gnutls 1.4.4 to 1.2.2, but gnutls 1.2.2 is gone!
I wont compile gnome packge by package, since it has bilions of packages.
Dose anybody have some idea?
Thank you for advices.

Run revdep-rebuild -X. That will install newer versions of the needed to be rebuilt packages.

I probably solved it. I reemerged this packages:

Does anybody have same problem? No replay - I feel like Hamlet

Anyway i rebuild everything and it's working, But evolution still wants some dbus package.

similar issue w/ k3b and grip here. annoying as all can be.

Does the problem occur during the startup of the evolution executable, or while it's loading dynamic plugins? If the latter, the problem might exist in another package.

my problem is with other executables, not evolution, but the root problem seems to be a busted dbus package, and a broken portage methodology.

dbus 1.0.x seems to be the root problem. i can't seem to easily downgrade, because it's missing keywords. i'll have to look into that.

portage likes to upgrade packages including shared libraries without rebuilding packages which are dependant on the changed library. this caused a need for the fantastic revdep-rebuild. which is basically a "rebuild all my packages which got busted by a library upgrade". the final straw is that revdep-rebuild is busted in and of itself and commonly can't resolve the problem. i just ran revdep-rebuild and it chugged along figuring out what to do for some time then reported that oops it couldn't do what it needed to do, and it's not quite sure why. fantastic.

Gentoo is not a distribution, it's a meta-distribution. This means that while in a particular binary distribution you can assume self-consistency, you have to work in Gentoo. If you think about it, there is no reliable way to ensure you catch all broken reverse dependencies, as there are different kinds of dependencies: ld, dynamic resolution with plugins, kernel modules, Python/Java/etc., and so on.

The best practice, IMHO, is to rebuild all reverse dependencies whenever you upgrade a deep package; revdep-rebuild just saves time. Along this vein, I resist upgrading deep dependencies in isolation, and save USE flag changes and world updates for major version changes in the apps I use.

I've got the same problem.

The initial post in this thread (https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-524259-highlight-libdbus1.html) by "tSp" appears to have solved my dbus issues with gnome. Fix was simply a symlink pointing that missing dbus file to the more current actually-in-existence dbus file.

I have to agree with other posts that feel like this is a hack to fix it, based solely on the fact that I had to do it myself. However, judging from all the symlinks I see all over the place in /usr/lib, this isn't a hack in that it looks like business-as-usual.

Anyway, it got my gnome-terminal working again, and revdep-rebuildmy running cleanly.
