Description Aioanei Rares 2015-03-28 12:12:37 UTC
Description of problem:

I installed g-t with Fluxbox in a VM and it won't start because it's missing /usr/bin/dbus-launch. That file is to be found in dbus-x11, which should be set as a hard dep for g-t. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.16.0-1

How reproducible:

Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install g-t with fluxbox
2.try to start it
3.

Actual results:
failure to start due to missing dependency

Expected results:
normal start

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

I have now committed this in git. It will be part of the next gnome-terminal update.

Comment 3 Christian Persch 2015-09-19 08:41:05 UTC
This seems totally wrong to me. dbus-launch is not, and has never been, a dependency of gnome-terminal.

Oh, wait a minute. "Requires: dbus-x11" has been present since gnome-terminal-3.18.0 because of bug 1180775

The patch I had pushed added a "BuildRequires: dbus-x11". That makes even less sense. I have reverted the BuildRequires from the f25 and master branches.
