"revdep-rebuild -i" is easier :)

Rather than do `emerge --sync` I do `eix-sync`. To my knowledge (not always 
infallible...) this runs `emerge --sync` then `update-eix`. Then I can go and 
make a cup of tea or something. Or, in some cases `eix-sync && emerge -puD 
world` to see what updated packages I might want :)

Anyway, I'll stop now as I'm maybe rambling a little off topic.

[Douglas Linford]

I had the same issue with my Gnome install after a world/dbus update.
I found the following fix on Gentoo Forums...his complete message and fix is
listed below...thanks to tSp.
This fixed my system without having to rebuild my Gnome.

I ran into a problem after an emerge upgrade to system and world that has
been driving me crazy for a few days. The error was related to *libdbus*-
1.so.2 and practically every gnome package depended on it. Just wanted to
share this fix so others don't go through what I did (by the way, this is a
sabayon install and not gentoo but figured since dbus and *libdbus* came
from the gentoo repo that it would be same error for both distros).

Running revdep-rebuild was listing almost all gnome packages linked against
*libdbus*-1.so.2 and they would all fail during emerge with the same error,
missing. I tried many different things to fix it - you can read all about it
mess here - http://www.maysville-linux-users-group.org/ftopicp-376.html but
the final fix ended up being this (so simple, yet overlooked for so long):

cd /usr/lib
ln -s *libdbus*-1.so.3.2.0 *libdbus*-1.so.2
cd /root
rm -rf .revdep*
revdep-rebuild

update-eix needs to be run every time you sync. What it catches by itself
though is changes to your installed packages.

My best guess is that revdep-rebuild tried to recompile broken packages in
the
wrong order. I.e. something else needed to be recompiled before
gnome-session. If you upgrade again, make sure dbus-glib is installed and
show us the output of `revdep-rebuild -i -vp` we may even be able to tell
you
which... Of course for now you can also just be happy with dbus-0.62 and
keep
the mask until you actually need a later dbus...

And please stop top-posting.

revdep-rebuild was run immediately after but gnome-session failed to
link with any other version of dbus. I even removed gnome-session and
manually checked for loose copies on the system but found nothing. I
reinstalled it and it still wasn't happy.

update-eix fixed the one issue. I don't usually run update-eix (though I
did recently) because I swear it seems to catch a lot of changes on its
own :-)

I agree.  I just finished mine a few minutes ago, I use KDE though, but
the error is gone and it mounts fine now.

Idea here, may want to list what you had to re-emerge.  Just in case
someone else could use it.
