Error message appears in '.xsession-errors': ** (update-notifier:4382): DEBUG: error during dbus call: The name org.debian.apt was not provided by any .service files This is issued by 'reboot.c' in package 'update-notifier-common': proxy = dbus_g_proxy_new_for_name (connection, "org.debian.apt", "/org/debian/apt", "org.debian.apt"); error = NULL; if (!dbus_g_proxy_call (proxy, "GetActiveTransactions", &error, G_TYPE_INVALID, G_TYPE_STRING, ¤t, G_TYPE_STRV, &pending, G_TYPE_INVALID)) { g_debug ("error during dbus call: %s\n", error->message); I have wondered about the 'apt' DBUS call(s) in update-notifier for a long time. What exactly is their purpose? Which process(es) are listening to that bus? Is it just there for possible future use or coordination with apt? -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages update-notifier-common depends on: ii python 2.5.4-9 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-apt 0.7.94.2 Python interface to libapt-pkg Versions of packages update-notifier-common recommends: pn cpu-checker <none> (no description available) ii libpam-modules 1.1.1-3 Pluggable Authentication Modules f update-notifier-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
