After reading the email from Chris McRaven above, I checked my dbus-1-utils version and found that it was 0.23.4-8, which was probably pulled in by the package liferea when I installed it quite some time ago.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache show dbus-1-utils

Status: install ok installed

Replaces: dbus-1 (<< 0.20-4)

So I would presume f-spot needed a more current version of
dbus-1-utils in order to work correctly.
What I'm confused about is why didn't my dbus-1-utils upgrade
automatically over the last number of months? I don't have anything
pinned, so it should have upgraded automatically with the various
releases.
I got my f-spot to work again by apt-get remove'ing dbus-1-utils
(which also removed liferea) and then apt-get install'ing
dbus-1-utils again, which pulled in the current version 0.94-1.
In looking at the debian/control file for f-spot, I do not find any
mention of dbus-1-utils in the Depends:. While earlier versions of
f-spot may not have needed it, the current version does and it
should be added to the Depends:.
