Package: dbus Version: 1.2.20-2 Severity: normal
On upgrade, dbus tries to restart itself, shutting down dependent processes before doing so. This includes network-manager. Once shut down, dbus restarts - except it cannot, it waits for of the order of an hour before timing out (I presume this is a timeout), after which none of the dependent services manage to restart (because the dbus is missing). I thought for about a year that this is a bug, but either no-one has bothered reporting it or this is a design flaw, which should be addressed. Also, afterwards, all upgades of dependent daemons have the same freeze+timemout behaviour trying to reload the system message bus config. End result is a very painful upgrade process, something which reminds me of my windows admin days: forced reboot etc. -Juha -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_GB.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages dbus depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libselinux1 2.0.89-4 SELinux runtime shared libraries ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip dbus recommends no packages.
