Package: dbus Version: 1.9.20-1ubuntu1 Severity: normal Hiya,
Someone just reported the above to me. Install in a chroot with policy-rc.d set to deny the start of dbus (exit 101, most chroots will probably have this already so it breaks upgrading of dbus in some class of installations). Install dbus from unstable, then upgrade to experimental's verison. It fails with the attached log, of which the key excerpt is Setting up dbus (1.9.20-1) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/dbus-1/session.conf ... Installing new version of config file /etc/dbus-1/system.conf ... touch: cannot touch '/run/dbus/dont-reload': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package dbus (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.19-19) ... Errors were encountered while processing: dbus E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) I don't know if the solution is to mkdir, [ -S /run/dbus/system-bus-socket ], or something else, so I'm not contributing a patch.
