I don't have dbus installed either, but I'm still on the old udev.
I've been planning on updating it this weekend (so I'll have time to
deal with any issues), but when I do an emerge -pvuDN world, dbus is
NOT
in the list of things to install.
So, since you didn't actually answer his question, I'll ask it again...
Is dbus actually *required* for even a server system? Is this
requirement only for the new udev? If so, why is it not getting pulled
in on my system? And if so, why is my system working now without it?
The OP mentioned he selected the desktop profile thats probably why it
got pulled in. Dbus is not required with the default profile.
yes but that might not be related to my choosen profile because it is
not required too for a minimal install (no X, only the basics), in fact
what I am doing is not the gentoo way like the one described in the
handbook (mainly because the full install process is scripted) so don't
be worried about the trouble I had, You probably won't encounter the
same by doing a regular upgrade.
Sorry for confusing you
