Source: chatty
Version: 0.8.7-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: dbus at packages.debian.org
Usertags: dbus-launch dbus-launch-for-tests dbus-x11-autolaunch

chatty relies on dbus-launch (dbus-x11) to run its test suite, but it 
doesn't need to: dbus-run-session (dbus-daemon) is sufficient. Please 
consider applying a change similar to the one in 
https://bugs.debian.org/1079555 which will make this package no longer 
dependent on some poorly-understood code paths that should eventually be 
phased out.

See also <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/08/msg00554.html>, 
a mass bug filing in 2016 (at which point I think this package didn't 
yet exist).

Thanks,
    smcv
