Some program I used was masked with the use variable "dbus" so I put in the make.conf. I did not actually install dbus. I emerged gnome-light sometime after that. A few days later, I emerged gnome-disk-utility which actually requires dbus. The emerge went well. After starting gnome-disk-utility I got an unfilled window and a nice crash after selecting the "Create Array" from the menu. Apparently, gnome-disk-utility requires the dbus package. I installed dbus and gnome-disk-utility worked great. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge Gnome-light 2. Emerge gnome-disk-utility 3. Don't emerge dbus 4. Watch crash. 5. Emerge dbus 5. Watch good disk utility do good things. Actual Results: The disk utility window was filled with components and it worked fine. Expected Results: The ebuild gnome-disk-utility should depend on dbus if it is required for it's operation. Change the ebuild gnome-disk-utility or gnome-light so it depends upon and thus installs dbus.
gnome-disk-utility-2.32.0-r1.ebuild already depends on dbus-glib (that depends on dbus), it's then pulled as a dependency when you emerge gnome-disk-utility

The gnome-disk utility did not function. I emerged dbus. Gnome-disk-utility functioned. If dbus was already emerged, I have no idea why I had to re-emerge it to get gnome-disk-utility functioning.
What exact command did you run to emerge gnome-disk-utility?

Maybe taking a look on /var/log/emerge.log and searching by sys-apps/dbus could give you an idea about where was it merged, reemerged or unmerged Also attach "emerge -epv gnome-disk-utility" output
Actually, I didn't emerge gnome-disk-utility. I guess it emerged with gnome-light.
Do you have "automount" USE flag enabled for gnome-light? In that case it was installed by gnome-light

But, what for gnome-light? emerge -pv gnome-light ?

This bug is my fault due to my using ~amd64 masking on some related packages. Please excuse me while I crawl under a rock.
