Because I am running on ext3 and I experienced the problem on two different systems.
/dev/mapper/alliecore-root on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) 2010-02-18 10:26:49 upgrade dbus 1.2.16-2 1.2.20-2 I have LVM under my filesystem. Dunno if that's a factor. My workaround, make it x for all: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root messagebus 45792 Feb 3 22:45 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper Other systems have worked fine however. It's a peculiar issue for sure. Thanks Joey for linking this bug, it's been annoying me for days! Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
