Public bug reported:
The UpdateManager.Core.UpdateList function loads in "/var/lib/dbus
/machine-id" to generate a unique seed.
This file should be provided by dbus, simply installing dbus fixes the
issue (or touching the missing file). However there is no dependency for
dbus.
I found this issue when running the apt-check script on a server with
outstanding packages to install and without dbus installed.
