I'm just replying from Opera 52 under Linux mint Qiana (Ubuntu Trusty)

To do this I did the following:

fakeroot
dpkg-deb -R opera-stable_52.0.2871.30_amd64.deb opera-stable_52
vim opera-stable_52/DEBIAN/control # Change to "libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.6.18)" and save
dpkg-deb -b opera-stable_52 opera-stable_52_trusty.0.2871.30_amd64.deb
exit

The repackaged file is here:
https://storage.fr1.cloudwatt.com/v1/AUTH_71c6d0f9c3eb4f5a95cebeae99f3b468/Opera_Repackaged/opera-stable_52_trusty.0.2871.30_amd64.deb

So now I confirm it works with "libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.6.18)" so could Opera devs learn how to package things as I mentionned before?

Hope this helps.

I removed the old packages and instead made a script to automaticaly create a backported opera version for trusty.

Here it is:

Once downloaded make it executable:

chmod a+x backport_opera_5x_to_trusty.sh

And simply launch this command in the directory where you downloaded opera:

./backport_opera_5x_to_trusty.sh opera-stable_52.0.2871.64_amd64.deb

(Replace opera-stable_52.0.2871.64_amd64.deb with the newly downloaded version)

You can find the source code here:

Hope this helps.
