NetworkManager support in Evolution requires D-Bus, but the ebuild does not reflect this dependency. See the relevant part of configure.ac for details. dnl Check for dbus-glib-1 and dbus AC_ARG_ENABLE([dbus], [AS_HELP_STRING([--enable-dbus], [enable DBUS support (default=yes)])], [enable_dbus=$enableval],[enable_dbus=yes]) AC_MSG_CHECKING([if dbus support is enabled]) AC_MSG_RESULT([$enable_dbus]) if test "$enable_dbus" = "yes"; then PKG_CHECK_MODULES([DBUS_GLIB], [dbus-glib-1 >= dbus_minimum_version], [DBUS_SUPPORT="yes"], [AC_MSG_ERROR([DBUS respectively dbus-glib not found! (or version < dbus_minimum_version)! If you want to disable DBUS, please append --disable-dbus to configure! DBUS is required for NetworkManager - NetworkManager support will then be disabled, too!])]) AC_DEFINE(DBUS_SUPPORT, 1, [dbus available]) AC_SUBST(HAVE_DBUS) AC_SUBST(DBUS_GLIB_CFLAGS) AC_SUBST(DBUS_GLIB_LIBS) elif test "$enable_dbus" = "no" -a "$enable_nm" = "yes"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([DBUS disabled and NetworkManager enabled - this won't work!

Created attachment 229753 [details, diff] always enable dbus when networkmanager is requested
evolution 2.30 (ebuild in the gnome overlay right now) has a hard dep on dbus-glib anyways, as a side effect of the kill-bonobo work, so probably best to just worry about getting that stabilized - is this breaking a common use-case right now?

(In reply to comment #2) > evolution 2.30 (ebuild in the gnome overlay right now) has a hard dep on > dbus-glib anyways, as a side effect of the kill-bonobo work, so probably best > to just worry about getting that stabilized Evolution 2.30 will not be stabilized anytime soon, and the currently stable version fails to compile as per description, so I still consider this patch necessary. You can safely apply it without a revision bump.
