I can't seem to reproduce this, im guessing you did this in a vmware image?
No, I didn't, and I cannot see how this should be related?! Well, I think I switched (involuntarily) several times between 0.6x and 1.0.1 due to these strange circular dependencies.
Can't reproduce it here either. Either way, you'll run into problems using ~arch dbus on a stable arch system. Hence, the circular depends. Also it's very possible since you're using a deprecated profile. And as another total side note, if you're gonna install ccache... at least enable it.. FEATURES="ccache" in /etc/make.conf. And don't remove "-pipe" from your CFLAGS, that will increase your compile times since files have to be written to disk then read back rather then going through pipes... i.e. memory copies.

This time, after emerging, i tried to restart dbus (reload failed, so I restarted) which failed because of the missing "system.d". After checking /etc/dbus-1/system.conf, I simply created system.d and startup went fine. So, maybe the postins(?) for dbus-0.62-r2 and newer should include a "mkdir -p system.d"? Regards, Dominik
Can't reproduce this AT ALL. Unless you guys can give us info how to reproduce it, we can't fix it. A lot of packages actually create files in that directory so it should always exist.

For example on our main server with KDE and GNOME the directory exists and: # equery belongs /etc/dbus-1/system.d [ Searching for file(s) /etc/dbus-1/system.d in *... ] gnome-extra/gnome-power-manager-2.16.2 (/etc/dbus-1/system.d) sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r5 (/etc/dbus-1/system.d) sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2-r1 (/etc/dbus-1/system.d) On a desktop of a colleague without GNOME (and without any package that would pull in hal) the directory does not exist and: # equery belongs /etc/dbus-1/system.d [ Searching for file(s) /etc/dbus-1/system.d in *... ] sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2-r1 (/etc/dbus-1/system.d)

My point was other applications will create that directory and stick files in there.
I have the same problem. In fact, it is properly created by dbus, but as it is empty, it is removed by Portage when cleaning the tree. I have dbus installed only because of gthumb, gedit, and vlc (libnotify), which do not seem to write anything in this directory. Please reopen, and add a `keepdir /etc/dbus-1/system.d`, somewhere in the ebuild. ################################################################################ [...] --- /etc/dbus-1/ >>> /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ >>> /etc/dbus-1/system.conf [...] --- !empty dir /etc/init.d <<< dir /etc/dbus-1/system.d --- !empty dir /etc/dbus-1 [...] ################################################################################
I confirm Mathieu's observation, with sys-apps/dbus-1.0.2-r2. Some more experimentation reveals that two things can happen: 1) If /etc/dbus-1 does not exist at all, then /etc/dbus-1 and /etc/dbus-1/system.d will both be created when you emerge dbus. All is well. 2) If /etc/dbus-1 already exists, but /etc/dbus-1/system.d does NOT exist, then when you emerge dbus, it creates and then promptly REMOVES /etc/dbus-1/system.d. You can artificially provoke this behavior by doing: emerge dbus rm -rf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ emerge dbus What I don't understand is how situation 2 can happen, short of manually removing the directory like that - but it evidently DOES happen. Is it possible that some other package previously created /etc/dbus-1, but did not create (or removed) /etc/dbus-1/system.d ? FWIW, my emerge.log reveals that on this system I have only ever had versions dbus-1.0.1-r1 and dbus-1.0.2-r2 installed.
I'll add the keepdir.
Fixed in 1.0.2-r2.
