I think that you tried to "make update" for a leaf package and this
package depends on dbus, but dbus had to be updated to?

I have found that if you want to use "make update" then you better find
the package that all other packages depends on and do "make update" for
that package. "make update" removes the package in question and all
packages that depend on it and updates all of them.

The way I would solve your current problem is to "make update" for dbus
and all should be well. If dbus doesn't depend on another package that
needs to be updated that is.

Jimmy
