The macOS jobs in our CI recently started failing, complaining that

This doesn't seem to be sufficient to fix the macos CI:
something in glib seems to still be using it.

Looking at the glib sources, I think this has been fixed here:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/commit/6ef967a0f930ce37a8c9b5aff96969
The fix will be in glib 2.79, unfortunately homebrew still seems to use glib
2.78 ...
We could maybe temporarily work-around the problem by disabling the dbus
code in the CI job? Or just wait for homebrew to update the package?
