Well it seems that my mirror is broken atm, since we also have 
dbus-1.0.0-7* versions in the sl53 tree.

I don't normally run my rsync with --delete (to avoid the problem with it 
deleting hundereds of items and then needing to fetching them again) so 
those may be left over from when I copied junk from 5rolling at some 
point.  I'll refresh that shortly...  Yup that got rid of them:

Apologies for the noise.

In fact I'm also (probably wrongly!) still pointing my test sl53 installs 
at a local repo that has all the 52 security updates added into it...  So 
I actually get dbus-1.0.0-7.el5_2.1.i386 pulled in from that repo...

but that I'll hopefully manage to fix soon...

I'm still not quite sure what will happen to dbus.i386 on an upgrade from 
52 to 53 (on x86_64) but maybe something I don't understand will pull in 
dbus-libs.i386 and dbus-glib.i386 and remove dbus.i386
