Details

Description:

Dbus package include files are under /usr/include/dbus-1.0. Configure scripts of other packages which depend on dbus - e.g. qt-copy-svn, usually search those files in /usr/include/dbus. To fix either dbus-1.0 directory name should be changed to dbus or a symbolic link dbus should be created which points to dbus-1.0.

Another issue is that dbus-arch-deps.h has a wrong installation path: /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h. It should be /usr/include/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h

Additional info:
dbus 1.0.2-4

Steps to reproduce:
Try to compile qt-copy-svn from AUR
This task depends upon

Packages that won't compile with /usr/include/dbus-1 are broken. These includepaths are versioned upstream and are default on every distribution. Packages should use pkg-config to generate the correct CFLAGS. dbus contains a .pc file with the required CFLAGS to compile programs with dbus includefiles installed in any random location.
