If I install the dbus-glib port first then the problem goes away.

Or if I add the --disable-dbus option to pidgin's configure.args the problem goes away.

I don't know which of those is the correct solution. But I'm leaning towards the first, given:

  1. The port does not currently build if dbus-glib is not installed. Therefore anyone who has the port installed must already have dbus-glib installed.
  2. The post-activate phase calls dbus-uuidgen which is provided by the dbus port.

So I added dependencies on dbus and dbus-glib and increased the port revision (so everyone who already has the port gets those dependencies recorded correctly) in r38377. I'm leaving this open and assigned to the maintainer of pidgin to ensure that this was the correct decision. Simon, please close as fixed if you think this is the right fix.

Hi Ryan,

thanks for your quick fix. This looks to me like the better solution, too.
