dev-python/dbus-python is listed as a runtime dependency for media-sound/sonata-1.5.1 only if DBUS USE flag is enabled. However, Sonata refuses to start without it even if dbus USE flag is disabled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge Sonata without dev-python/dbus-python present on a system 2. try to run Sonata Actual Results: $sonata Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/sonata", line 27, in <module> from sonata import main File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/sonata/main.py", line 63, in <module> import dbus, dbus.service ImportError: No module named dbus Expected Results: Sonata should have run. Previously had v. 1.4.2 installed without dbus USE flag and without dev-python/dbus-python on system, and everything worked. $emerge --info Portage 2.1.5_rc10 (default-linux/amd64/2007.0, gcc-4.2.3, glibc-2.7-r2, 2.6.25-gentoo-r2 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.25-gentoo-r2 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Timestamp of tree: Wed, 14 May 2008 11:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.5.2-r3 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.0 sys-apps/openrc: 0.2.4 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.62 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64 ~amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="distlocks parallel-fetch parallel-fetch, sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_GB.utf8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/portage/local /usr/portage/local/layman/pro-audio" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X a52 acl acpi alsa amd64 bash-completion berkdb cli cracklib crypt cups dri dvd dvdr encode flac fortran gdbm gif gtk hal iconv isdnlog jpeg jpeg2k kde mad midi mmx mp3 mpeg mudflap ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nvidia ogg opengl openmp pam pcre perl png pppd python qt3 readline reflection session spl sse sse2 ssl svg tcpd threads truetype unicode vcd vim-syntax vorbis xcomposite xine xorg xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="emu10k1x" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
Created attachment 153105 [details] new Sonata ebuild solving dbus issue Here's my proposal to solve this. Since it seems that Sonata requires dbus-python as a dependency, dbus USE flag should be removed and dev-python/dbus-python added as a runtime dependency
If I uncomment the try: and except: around the code in question (in main.py), everything seems to work fine... I don't know why the author commented it out (and didn't add error code like he did with mpd right above).

No, go ahead. I made a bug report upstream: https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=13816&group_id=7323 (no response yet).
Created attachment 153421 [details, diff] patch solving the dbus issue Here's patch which solves this problem. I have tested it and it works on my system. I will also add a new ebuild.
Created attachment 153423 [details] ebuild which applies dbus-runtime-error.patch
looks like its fixed now upstream. https://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?func=detailbug&bug_id=13816&group_id=7323
this is indeed fixed in 1.5.2, which is now in the tree, thanks
