Control: tag -1 pending Hello,
Bug #1040790 in dbus reported by you has been fixed in the Git repository and is awaiting an upload. You can see the commit message below and you can check the diff of the fix at: https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/dbus/-/commit/e447ea0b64c84d6d8c98494d1a7de7f0f8a7cf3b ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dbus-daemon.postinst: Stop trying to take DPKG_ROOT into account `dbus-uuidgen --ensure` has a special case in which it will attempt to read systemd's `/etc/machine-id` before creating a new `/var/lib/dbus/machine-id`. `systemd-machine-id-setup` has the equivalent in the other direction, ensuring that whichever machine ID is created first, the other one is a copy of it, and therefore everything agrees on what the machine identifier is. `dbus-uuidgen --ensure=PATH` doesn't have that special case, and so it would wrongly generate a new, unique machine ID unrelated to systemd's, causing systemd-derived code and libdbus-derived code to disagree on what the machine's unique ID should be, with a situation-dependent impact. Avoid this failure mode by reverting the addition of DPKG_ROOT support, which is unimportant for this non-Essential package. We intentionally copy the systemd machine ID instead of merely letting systemd-tmpfiles set up a symlink to it, because strictly speaking nothing guarantees that a Debian system that didn't boot with systemd will have an /etc/machine-id at all (and if it does get created, nothing guarantees that it won't subsequently be removed, breaking the symlink). Sysadmins who do not intend to remove /etc/machine-id or systemd are encouraged to make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id, either manually or via tmpfiles.d(5), preventing these files from being able to go out of sync. This reverts commit 047d3845 "d/dbus-daemon.postinst: Respect $DPKG_ROOT".
