Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dbus

#synce has seen an influx of hardy users with problems installing one of
our packages. Restarting dbus fixed the problem for them. This was not
needed with the gutsy version of the package, and so is likely a
regression. According to our contact at Mandriva, dbus 1.1.20 had a bug
which they had to patch for a while (before they moved to dbus 1.2.1,
which is fixed).

>From IRC:

11:32 < ParkerJone1> Hello all.  Trying to install synce on ubuntu hardy
following these instructions http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
and ran into a problem.   * Starting odccm odccm

11:32 < ParkerJone1> ** ERROR **: Failed to get bus name: Connection ":1.44" is 
not allowed to own the service "org.synce.odccm" due to security policies in 
the configuration file
11:32 < ParkerJone1> aborting...
11:32 < ParkerJone1> Any ideas?

(Note that our package ships the correct config file so that this error
doesn't occur)

12:21 < gdiepen[work]> Jc2k: I don't know anything about it, except for
the fact that after restart of dbus, odccm could be started without a
problem

12:32 < AdamW> Jc2k: we had to patch dbus for the above issue for a while
12:32 < AdamW> Jc2k: hold on, let me pull out the details
12:33 < AdamW> Jc2k: yeah, if you're on 1.1.20, it needs a patch
12:34 < AdamW> jc2k / gdiepen / parkerjones : likely needs this dbus patch : 
               
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/dbus/current/SOURCES/dbus-1.1.20-fixmonitor.patch?revision=190617&view=markup&pathrev=190617
12:35 < AdamW> it's fixed in upstream 1.2.1 (at least, maybe 1.2.0 too, I 
dunno, we went straight from 1.1.20 to 1.2.1)

dbus needs restarting needlessly (file monitoring broken?)
