dbus is not found? How can that be, I wonder? What does

port info dbus

and

sudo port -v install dbus

give you on your system?

[coke (Will Coleda)]

Both die with:

Error: Port dbus not found

port -v

gives

MacPorts 2.4.2

It looks like your MacPorts setup (and likely many of your port definition files) are quite out of date. To fix this up, you should do the following:

sudo port -v selfupdate

and then let things progress. It's likely some of your existing ports will wind up being upgraded in the process. At the end of all that, try your install again

sudo port install at-spi2-atk

Makes sense.

I can't use rsync, so I use "port -v sync" to update the port list via git, but then I lose any notification about the update process.

Just ran the installer for 2.5.3, reran the sync, and now I can install dbus.

Thank you for you patience.

Glad you got it working!
