Are you able to get around that?
I haven't built X itself in a while (and the X server people also ripped libdbus out after the abort() incident, so I'd be surprised if it now requires it again), but nothing that I have built appears to fail without it. Dunno... But I'm also doing weird hacks with an alternate libc in /opt to get binary-only games to work (mostly unity-engine, which compiles against a glibc version just *slightly* newer than this base system, so they refuse to start up), if that's any indication of how old the rest of the system is. > The hint does suggest what packages are not needed. Yeah, I'm mostly worried about that changing without anyone noticing, and maybe considering whether the change is worth it. Maybe it is, but if we don't know, it's going to be hard to evaluate it.
