slight dependency problem when installing calibre

Hi,

I installed calibre on my pogoplug with this command:
pacman -S calibre

The install went OK, but trying to start calibre thereafter showed an error because the dbus-glib library was missing.

I had to install the corresponding library to fix this with this command:
pacman -S dbus-glib

I think that the dependencies of the calibre package must be updated accordingly. How do we go about this ?

Re: slight dependency problem when installing calibre

A bug report would be appropriate, but we'll need to figure out a few things first.

calibre depends on python2-dbus , and dbus-glib is an optional dependency of python2-dbus .

Main question appears to be if calibre could be configured to run without dbus-glib present, if so it should be an optional dependency for calibre.
Please post the error you got from calibre.
