 Apologies if this would have been better placed as a developer mailing
 list entry (don't know if you include installer bugs - no component for
 it...).

 Compiling Pidgin 2.2.1 on Ubuntu Feisty. Unless I'm mistaken, it searches
 for installed DBUS via package names dbus-1 and dbus-glib-1. However, on
 Ubuntu, DBUS *is* installed as packages dbus and dbus-1-utils. Suspect
 script should check for other package name in this case.

 configure.log extract as below:

 configure:31911: checking for DBUS
 configure:31919: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "dbus-1 >= 0.35 dbus-
 glib-1 >= 0.35"
 Package dbus-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-1.pc'
 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 No package 'dbus-1' found
 Package dbus-glib-1 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
 Perhaps you should add the directory containing `dbus-glib-1.pc'
 to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
 No package 'dbus-glib-1' found

 Apologies if I've got this wrong (still compiles OK without it of course,
 just doesn't use better DBUS I guess).

 See attached Synaptic screenshot for packages.

 Cheers,
 Stuart
