Description Christian Glindkamp 2009-01-04 02:15:56 UTC

When building claws-mail, it enables support for dbus, if dbus-glib is installed. When dbus-glib not found, it disables support for dbus. I would suggest to add the dbus useflag and force dbus off with --disable-dbus if the useflag is not set. All versions in portage seem to be affected by this.

Steps to reproduce:
1. ensure that dbus-glib is installed
2. emerge claws-mail
3. emerge -C dbus-glib
4. claws-mail is unable to start
5. emerge claws-mail
6. claws-mail is working again

I will introduce a dbus USE flag which will handle this.
