dbus fails to install as non root

[www.macports.org@…]

On a fully updated/upgraded MacPort, while installing ftgl, dbus fails to install, apparently because it can't manage to properly install as a non root user (my MacPort installation is entirely non root).

The installer tries to copy "/Users/laurent/unix/macports/var/macports/software/dbus/1.2.24_1/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist" to "/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist" which it obviously fails to do since it's running as a non root user. I guess that it should instead try to copy that file to /Users/laurent/Library/....

Please remember to fill in the Port field and cc the maintainer.

I assume this is what the no_root variant is for?
