I believe there is an API difference in dbus, here; symlinking .so's is
almost never the right solution.

I think a revdep-rebuild might be the fix, as mentioned, but there is a
dbus upgrading guide somewhere.  You should revdep-rebuild after most
library upgrades, and always after `emerge -uD world`.

Also, the 2.0.1.ebuild is pretty old; the 2.0.5 ebuild (at least) has some
[R]DEPEND fixes in relation to g-wrap, slib and guile.  You might need to
add some /etc/portage/package.keyword entries, though, but I thought it
all stabilized a while ago...
