Hi Axel,
does this issue still persist for you? Looking up the code it seems as
though there's now a heuristic in place that should fall back to other
methods if dbus is unavailable.
Greets,

Dear Maintainer,
the following trivial task fails if dbus is not installed on a remote
machine (e.g. a server):
- name: Set the hostname
hostname:
name: "{{ ansible_host }}"
It fails as follows despite dbus is (obviously) not necessary to set the
hostname under Linux:
fatal: […]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failed": true, "msg": "Command failed
rc=1, out=, err=Failed to create bus connection: Connection refused\n"}
If dbus is installed on the remote machine, the module works
fine. According to the upstream bug report at
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/25543 this only happens with
systemd as init system (or at least if systemd is installed and dbus is
not).
