Public bug reported:
I'm trying to create an up-to-date chroot based on precise-updates.
Since I don't know how to include updates while using debootstrap (see
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debootstrap/+question/199330
on this), I have to install updates later on from within the chroot.
Unfortunately, with dbus 1.4.18-1ubuntu1.3 this fails:
Setting up dbus (1.4.18-1ubuntu1.3) ...
Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to socket
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
initctl: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
start: Unable to connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket
/com/ubuntu/upstart: Connection refused
invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing dbus (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Looking at the postinst script, I see this:
# If it's not running (perhaps we're in a chroot) this will just fail
# harmlessly, so there's no need to condition on status.
dbus-send … --system … > /dev/null || true
…
invoke-rc.d dbus start || exit $?
So someone did actually think about a chroot scenario, and the first
error message about the missing system bus is indeed harmless. For the
command that starts dbus, however, success is mandatory. This breaks the
upgrade of dbus for me, and quite a number of packages which depend on
it. It would be nice if the package could be installed in a chroot,
without a local dbus instance running.
As a workaround, one can temporarily create a symlink called /sbin
/invoke-rc.d pointing at /bin/true.
