[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#607762: dbus-glib: requires higher versioned build-dep on glib

[Andres Salomon]

Package: dbus-glib
Version: 0.88-2
Severity: serious

While backporting this package for lenny, I hit the following build
error:

It would appear that I'd hit the following in configure.ac:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(DBUS_GLIB, gobject-2.0 >= 2.24, have_glib=yes,
have_glib=no)

The current build-dep for glib is libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.10), while the
version installed in the chroot is

ii  libglib2.0-dev                    2.16.6-3

Bumping the build-dep to libglib2.0-dev (>= 2.24) and installing
libglib2.0-dev 2.24.2-1~bpo50+1 fixes the build.
