----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 On a fully updated/upgraded MacPort, while installing ftgl, dbus fails to
 install, apparently because it can't manage to properly install as a non
 root user (my MacPort installation is entirely non root).

 The installer tries to copy
 "/Users/laurent/unix/macports/var/macports/software/dbus/1.2.24_1/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop
 .dbus-session.plist" to "/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-
 session.plist" which it obviously fails to do since it's running as a non
 root user.
 I guess that it should instead try to copy that file to
 /Users/laurent/Library/....
