Hello,

here I forward a post from the gphoto2 mailing list with a problem
concerning D-Bus on Fedora. Some comments are below the quoted
passage ..

For better readybility, here's my change again
(in libgphoto2/libgphoto2_port/disk/disk.c)

original version (triggers failed assertion)
        libhal_free_string_array (volumes);
        libhal_ctx_free (ctx);
        dbus_connection_unref (dbus_connection);

workaround
        libhal_free_string_array (volumes);
        libhal_ctx_free (ctx);
        dbus_connection_disconnect (dbus_connection)
        dbus_connection_unref (dbus_connection);

The guys on the gphoto list told me that it is a Red Hat /
Fedora specific problem probably. Because my change fixes
the problem but "you cannot .. disconnect, someone else
still might be listing". So what's the correct solution to
cope with that on Fedora?

Thanks
Oliver
