Is this Edgy or Dapper? I have libdbus 1-2 0.60-6ubuntu8 (dapper) installed here fine.
Can you check to see if you have all the repositories installed? -- vlc install fails - depends on an old package https://launchpad.net/bugs/62541 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
