dbus-glib is a deprecated D-Bus library with some significant design
flaws, and is essentially unmaintained. As announced in [0], I would
like to minimize its use, and eventually remove it from Debian.
gpsd Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev, but it looks as though
it does not actually use dbus-glib. Instead, it uses the reference
D-Bus implementation, libdbus (dbus-1.pc), which is the libdbus-1-dev
Debian package.
If this is correct, please replace the Build-Depends on libdbus-glib-1-dev
with a Build-Depends on libdbus-1-dev.
If this package has other uses of dbus-glib that I have missed, please
see [0] for how to proceed.
Thanks,
smcv
