I just reproduced this bug on a pristine saucy VM running MAAS: 1.4+bzr1701+dfsg-0+1727+212~ppa0~ubuntu13.10.1
After I installed MAAS (apt-get install maas maas-dns maas-dhcp), both avahi-daemon and dbus services were not running causing the same error in apache logs I originally posted in this bug. ** Changed in: dbus (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1065775 Title: dbus and avahi-daemon not started after package install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1065775/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
