Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.24-2
Severity: important
Hi,
I noted on 569058 that the problem seen in 569058 is not
restricted to btrfs filesystems. Since you have closed that bug
I feel that it is important to open a new bug, because this problem
is still occuring for me, on every single upgrade of dbus on any
of my computers.
Basically, if I don't chmod a+x /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
then very little of my desktop environments work: pulse is broken,
menus are broken, launching apps is broken. Basically, the entire gnome
desktop is broken (not surprising given how much is dependent on dbus).
The only hypothesis I have (because I am NOT using btrfs, I am using ext3
on LVM) is that it's actually to do with LDAP in some way, because all
real local users are actually in an LDAP repository. I would guess that
somehow that's breaking the helper's user credentials (though the messagebus
user _is_ a local user, not an LDAP user).
Given that I see this on at least 2 different desktops, I think it's pretty
reproducible, and spans many versions of dbus now.
(I think the last working version of dbus was about 1.2.16)
Thanks
Christian

The subject of this bug report is definitely wrong. dbus-daemon-launch-helper
should *not* be a+x

It was never for me and nobody so far could show me a way how I could reproduce
it reliably.
I don't see a bug in dbus's postinst script.
This might rather be an issue in using dpkg on btrfs and/or LVM.
I'm closing this bug. First, it doesn't add any additional information over
569058, second, it's subject is wrong.
If you feel this issue need further discussion, then please followup to 569058
and reopen that report, which has already much more context
