So to summarise.
Your machine-id is in /var/lib/dbus
Our dbus library is looking in /usr/local/var/lib/dbus, and also /etc
Just checking my local machine (Windows with WSL running Ubuntu 18,
not exactly representative), and I appear to have /etc/machine-id,and
/var/lib/dbus/machine-id but not
Hmm, when googling stuff I did come across an appimage script that
looked to be modifying a path in a packaged dbus library..

Do you know what library is actually failing to find the file?
