----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 after doing 'sudo port selfupdate' to 1.7.1, I proceeded to try
 'sudo port upgrade gnucash' to 2.2.9. I previously had gnucash 2.2.8
 installed (quartz version) on MACOS 10.5.6

 When the installation got to dbus, the activation of dbus failed, possibly
 due to an earlier installation ? See the log excerpt that follows:

 The port upgrade of gnucash proceeded to plug along, with period errors on
 other dependencies related to dbus not being properly installed.
