I had the same issue with my Gnome install after a world/dbus update. I found the following fix on Gentoo Forums...his complete message and fix is listed below...thanks to tSp. This fixed my system without having to rebuild my Gnome.
I ran into a problem after an emerge upgrade to system and world that has been driving me crazy for a few days. The error was related to *libdbus*- 1.so.2 and practically every gnome package depended on it. Just wanted to share this fix so others don't go through what I did (by the way, this is a sabayon install and not gentoo but figured since dbus and *libdbus* came from the gentoo repo that it would be same error for both distros). Running revdep-rebuild was listing almost all gnome packages linked against *libdbus*-1.so.2 and they would all fail during emerge with the same error, missing. I tried many different things to fix it - you can read all about it mess here - http://www.maysville-linux-users-group.org/ftopicp-376.html but the final fix ended up being this (so simple, yet overlooked for so long): cd /usr/lib ln -s *libdbus*-1.so.3.2.0 *libdbus*-1.so.2 cd /root rm -rf .revdep* revdep-rebuild Douglas On 1/25/07, Bo Ørsted Andresen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

My best guess is that revdep-rebuild tried to recompile broken packages in the wrong order. I.e. something else needed to be recompiled before gnome-session. If you upgrade again, make sure dbus-glib is installed and show us the output of `revdep-rebuild -i -vp` we may even be able to tell you which... Of course for now you can also just be happy with dbus-0.62 and keep the mask until you actually need a later dbus... And please stop top-posting. -- Bo Andresen
