As of dbus/1.10.6-1ubuntu2 (the relevant change seems to have been in 1.8.12-1ubuntu1), the Upstart job creates that directory but then doesn't do anything with it, because the session bus address is now stored in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
This is one of several ways in which the Upstart job is far more complicated than it needs to be, for which I'll open a separate bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250668 Title: upstart session for dbus has hard coded .cache directory Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 Package: dbus Architecture: amd64 Version: 1.6.12-0ubuntu10 The file /usr/share/upstart/sessions/dbus.conf contains a hardcoded path to the .cache directory, making the use of XDG_CACHE_HOME variable non working. The fix could to change line echo "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" >$HOME/.cache/upstart/dbus-session into echo "DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=${DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS}" >${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/upstart/dbus-session I tested it and it works for me...
