Package: powersave Version: 0.15.20-3 Severity: normal While reading the powersaved code trying to fix #510633, I noticed that all messages on unknown interfaces are completely ignored. This is rather unfriendly, particularly for the Introspect interface as used from Python - the caller will eventually time out, but it will typically take 25 seconds.
The intended handling of messages on unknown interfaces is that if the
message type is "method call", a suitable "unknown interface" error is
returned; otherwise, the message is ignored.
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod" (which is DBUS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_METHOD
in <dbus/protocol.h>) is a reasonable error name to use.
Of course, it would be better still if Introspect returned the
appropriate blob of XML!

Simon
