A virtual seems a bit pointless for the following reasons: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
1. dbus and dbus-broker can be (and usually are) installed simultaneously. |
| 17 |
2. dbus-broker[launcher] utilizes config files installed by dbus, and |
| 18 |
actually RDEPENDs on sys-apps/dbus for that reason. |
| 19 |
3. Many client applications depend on sys-apps/dbus for libdbus. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If you can think of some way to encourage users to install/enable |
| 22 |
dbus-broker, that seems like a good idea to me. |
