Resend this answer because it was bouncing back

The situation is that I want to use dbus-broker but not additionally 
libdbus. dbus-broker.bb adds a runtime dependency on dbus-common and 
dbus-tools.

<https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-core/dbus/dbus-broker_37.bb#n38>

Thats why dbus recipe is built despite setting VIRTUAL_RUNTIME_dbus = 
"dbus-broker" and because of that we end up with a runtime dependency 
on dbus if ptests
is in DISTRO_FEATURES.

<https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/tree/meta/classes-recipe/ptest.bbclass#n26>

That causes an error at do_rootfs, because dbus-broker.bb makes dbus 
and dbus-broker mutually exclusive:

<https://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/tree/meta-oe/recipes-core/dbus/dbus-broker_37.bb#n37>

I dont know, if the dbus tests are meant to be run with dbus-broker but 
dbus-broker installs its own ptest. Shouldn't that be sufficient?
