I see no reason why the port shouldn't work on Oneiric.

In order to move the dbus binaries to /bin from /usr/bin, an unfortunate bug crept into the packaging. The debug version of dbus-launch ends up in the production deb. The effect of that is that when dbus gets a warning and DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS is enabled, dbus-launch will abort. That's the signal 6 you're seeing. In practice this doesn't seem to affect anything because that envar is never enabled afaict. It *is* enabled in the dbus-python test suite, which is why the builds are failing. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/913991 It's fixed in Precise of course. :) My suggestion is to comment out this line in dbus-python's dbus/test/run-test.sh script: export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=1 Your PPA should then build just fine.
