Bug 238992: x11-toolkits/qt5-gui: Qt5 apps fail to run when installed alone
into a jail
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238992



--- Description ---
I installed the qTox package into a jail, and it failed to run:

> [18:07:23.828 UTC] :0 : Warning: QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to
non-existing path '/var/run/user/1001', please create it with 0700 permissions.
dbus[86894]: D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up: see the manual
page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue. (Failed to open
"/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory; Failed to open
"/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory)
>  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace


It seems like Qt5 requires the dbus service. IMO, this should be only a
warning, and not a failure.

I will create the upstream bug. This bug here is to track the issue, and to
invite opinions about this issue.

But Qt5 apps should not fail because some secondary library isn't initialized.
DBus isn't required for most UI operations. qTox should run fine without DBus.
