Package: apt
Version: 1.4~beta2
The script '/usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily' uses 'pidof dbus-daemon'
to check whether dbus is running and whether to send a message.
With SELinux enabled this causes avc denials like:
type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(12/29/16 07:43:22.385:42209) :

I do not like to grant apt these permissions but I also want apt to
announce an update to dbus,
so can you rework the dbus check?
