Description:
It would be nice if the dbus-components that depend on x11 could be separated so it is possible to install dbus on servers without any dependencies on X. It could be comparable to debian with its dbus & dbus-x11 packages.
This task depends upon

I am terribly sorry, I accidentally submitetd the request before it had an adequate title... Can that be changed to for example create new dbus-package without X dependencies?

An rather naive question. What is dbus needed for in servers?

Unfortunately bluetooth support (for example to set up a PAN) depends on dbus :(

There's dbus-core and dbus. The "dbus" package contains just the dbus-launch command to start the session bus and depends on libx11. IMHO dependencies for packages like bluez could be adjusted to depend on dbus-core instead of dbus.

JGC, that seems a good idea.

Is this fixed now? AFAI see bluez depends on dbus-core now
