Testing package for stable req.  Fails 1 test.

Failed to start message bus: Abstract socket name too long

grief.

As discussed in irc, this is sensitive to the length of PORTAGE_TMPDIR + the package name, etc. since dbus-launch creates a unix socket. If we go over 108 characters, we're hosed.

[Comment 2 Ian Delaney (RETIRED) 2012-02-29 06:40:02 UTC]

The name of the socket is appended to $PORTAGE_TMPDIR.  Mine is three folders. not two.  export PORTAGE_TMPDIR="tmp' and it passed.
grief.  Making a fix for this may amount to scanning $PORTAGE_TMPDIR for its length or number of folders and make an ewarn msg if it's too long.

This will do it.

I grabbed the patch from upstream, which moves the socket to /tmp. Thanks Ian.
