Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.20-2
Severity: normal
gnome-power-manager is not working, devkit-power has the same
problem:
(devkit-power:10045): devkit-power-gobject-WARNING **: Couldn't enumerate
devices: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct
Is this supposed to be setuid?
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 39K Feb 3 22:19
/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper*
Downgrading dbus to testing fixed it for me:
-rwsr-xr-- 1 root messagebus 39K Jul 15 2009
/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper*
Then I re-upgraded, and the permissions were preserved.
Two possibilities:
1. Btrfs, which I use for my root filesystem, is more experimental than
expected and somehow responsible for the lost suid bits and group
ownership. Possible, but seems unlikely.
2. Somehow dbus.postinst's chown failed. Maybe I had a dpkg-statoverride
entry for the helper from before (if so, I had not added it manually,
and I don't have it now).

Cwillu, thanks for following up.
That does seem to explain #569058, closing that bug.
At the moment, my other two problems, #567135 and #568908, do not
seem likely to be caused by the dpkg bug.
