Description Ryan Hope 2007-06-22 04:04:29 UTC 
dbus can not be used as an IPC for an init system if /usr is mounted as a network file system because dbus-* binaries get installed to /usr/bin. the developers of einit intend to use dbus for all IPC and thus dbus-daemon must be installed to /bin so ensure that it is always available

Reproducible: Always

Yeah... we're not installing it to /bin. It's staying right where it is in /usr/bin

If we install it in /bin, that means there's a LOT of packages that are going to need to be changed to install their libraries in /lib rather then /usr/lib

This is something you need to address with the D-Bus ML and particularly with the current thread of dbus-activations.
Comment 3 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2007-06-22 13:58:07 UTC 
Out of curiosity, what parts of D-Bus do you plan on using/needing in /bin.
