Public bug reported:
Hi there,
I still was not able to replace the BIOS. Anyway, I encountered a
problem with dpkg-reconfigure -a. When I get to configure dash, I am
asked use dash or bash. Whatever I choose, the command stops and I am in
the rootterminal again. dpkg-reconfigure dash gives me the same screen,
accepts my choice and reverts to rootterminal without notifications. If
I run it again, it has saved my previous choice. When I restart dpkg-
reconfigure -a, the problem reoccurs. Error messages: /var/run/dbus does
not exist chown cannot acces, no permission, user 'messagebus' already
exists. I cannot use touch /var/run/dbus + chmod 777 + chown 1000 or
root with any success, that is: the problem remains. I now get: cannot
create /var/run/dbus, file exists. This is certainly a bug, I do not
know due to the BIOS or not. Even if it is triggered by the BIOS being
broken, it can still be a weakness in the code, that is why I post it.
