On my bullseye/sid lappie, for comparison to yours: kent@westk-9463:~$ ls -lah /usr/share/dbus-1/ total 84K drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4.0K Sep 17 19:55 . drwxr-xr-x 610 root root 20K Sep 5 16:26 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 6 20:50 accessibility-services drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 12K Aug 6 21:03 interfaces drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 20K Aug 6 20:55 services -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.6K Jul 2 08:19 session.conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Sep 17 19:55 session.d -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.7K Jul 2 08:19 system.conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Sep 17 19:55 system.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 6 21:08 system-services kent@westk-9463:~$ ls -lahd /usr/share/dbus-1/ drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4.0K Sep 17 19:55 /usr/share/dbus-1/
My system now is back to **normal**. I re-installed about a dozen packages including systemd. I also changed one mode to match yours. frank@franklin:~$ ls -lah /usr/share/dbus-1/ total 44K drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4.0K Oct 3 10:08 . drwxr-xr-x 246 root root 12K Oct 2 16:56 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 3 10:08 interfaces drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 3 09:20 services -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.6K Jul 2 09:19 session.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.7K Jul 2 09:19 system.conf drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 3 10:08 system.d drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 3 10:08 system-services Still don't know what the h*ll happened.
