dbus 1.4.20_0 +startupitem activation error

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

I use the +startupitem variant and got this error with the latest version:

This is not a duplicate; this is a new problem.

This suggests that the problem exists only when users get a pre-compiled binary, not when building from source (which I verified works fine).

Replying to ryandesign@…:

I have a commit with a revbump in the works. I am in the middle of building and testing variant combinations.

Apologies for not acknowledging this earlier.
Is it still an issue?

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

No, and the +startupitem variant looks like its part of the default now which means it's always installed, so I'll close the ticket.
