ivman needs to depend on more: it's possible to emerge it and have configure fail. Not sure what it would depend on, maybe glib+dbus together. Here's the output: n2 dbus # emerge -v ivman dbus . . . checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for LIBXML... yes checking for GLIB... yes checking for DBUS_GLIB... configure: error: No Dbus-Glib found, check config.log for failed attempts !!!

sys-apps/ivman depends on hal which has all the needed dbus dependencies. I really fail to see how can you have sys-apps/hal installed without dbus.
Since ivman directly uses dbus-glib, it should depend on dbus-glib.
As said, hal already depends on it...
