Hi Jose,

Thanks for the patch.

The addition of dbus as a propagated input was the only thing that stood
out to me.

If playerctl does call out to dbus-launch, then patching the source to
refer to the specific /gnu/store/...-dbus/.../dbus-launch binary would
be the nicest approach, since that would avoid propagating dbus.

Is it necessary to propagate the dbus package, and if so, what doesn't
work if you don't?

Thanks,

Chris
