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
