-Subject: [PATCH] Add dbus-glib dependency to main
-
-It is required through the ipc header and the build will fail without it on Nix:
-
-	In file included from /build/source/src/main/search_sidebar.cc:48:
-	/build/source/src/gui/ipc.h:26:10: fatal error: dbus/dbus-glib.h: No such file or directory
-	   26 | #include <dbus/dbus-glib.h>
-	      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-	compilation terminated.
