Bugzilla Bug 119415

Here is the relevant link error -- my guess is that the gtk dependency needs to
be bumped to 2.6 or 2.8:

* x11-libs/gtk+ 
     Installed:           2.4.9-r1 1.2.10-r10

Ditto for 0.50, nevertheless I don't quite see what's your issue here,
gtk+-2.4* doesn't exist in portage at all any more. Please, use emerge -uD
world when upgrading your packages. 

Sorry to not be more clear.  I was only trying to emerge dbus, not gtk-2.4,
which I already had emerged from over a year ago (yikes!).

The dbus ebuild lists >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.4 as a dependency, but this is
incorrect, as the 'gtk_message_dialog_format_secondary_markup' function which
chokes up my emerge didn't exist until gtk+-2.6.
(http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkMessageDialog.html#id2902377)

However, it looks like dbus is at fault, as their own configure script allows
gtk-2.4, which the author of the ebuild probably referenced.  Regardless of the
source, it should be updated to 2.6 in the dbus ebuild.

Upgrading to gtk+-2.8 did indeed fix the linker error.

Fixed in CVS.  Thanks for reporting this oversight.  Cardoe has also passed the
information upstream to fix the autotools setup.
