I believe that liboil-0.3.9 has a number of bug fixes.  It appears to
have been released a day after 0.3.8 was released:

[ ] liboil-0.3.7.tar.gz     02-Feb-2006 23:06  804K  
[ ] liboil-0.3.8.tar.gz     21-Mar-2006 18:22  815K  
[ ] liboil-0.3.9.tar.gz     22-May-2006 21:41  814K  


dbus-glib used to be packaged as part of dbus.  It is now a dependency
for HAL.
