Same here. I would like to add that this problem is somewhat tricky,
since it occurs when updating ssh via ssh. In that case, you are left
in a dead-lock: You need to run dpkg --configure -a, but every time you
run it, the ssh restart will kick you out of the system before the
command completes.

I got around this by using VNC access to my KVM virtual machine, but
not everybody has easy access to a recovery console and it’s a big
annoyance.

Is there any workaround for this situation, except for installing dbus
and libpam-systemd? In case there isn’t, shouldn’t we make dbus and
libpam-systemd a hard requirement?

Best regards,
Michael
