a litle more info. Before I did an 'emerge -a ivman' I did an emerge -C linux-headers because that package was marked as blocked. After that I made: nhh221 /usr/portage/sys-kernel/linux-headers # emerge -a ivman These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] dev-python/pyrex-0.9.3-r1 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/dbus-0.23-r3 [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/linux26-headers-2.6.8.1-r2 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/hal-0.4.5-r2 [ebuild N ] sys-apps/ivman-0.5_pre2 Do you want me to merge these packages? [Yes/No] which shows that linux-headers are not needed by dbus. Now I made a 'emerge linux26-headers' and after that 'emerge -a ivman'. dbus and ivman are now built.
PEBKAC. The Linux headers are needed by ANY package that compiles some C or C++ code. And I do mean ANY. This is apparently a bug in the glibc ebuild since linux-headers should be a prerequisite of glibc. Not a dbus ebuild bug, that's for sure. should be closed INVAL.
pretty much true
