As of dbus/1.10.6-1ubuntu2 (the relevant change seems to have been in 1.8.12-1ubuntu1), the Upstart job creates that directory but then doesn't do anything with it, because the session bus address is now stored in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
This is one of several ways in which the Upstart job is far more complicated than it needs to be, for which I'll open a separate bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1250668 Title: upstart session for dbus has hard coded .cache directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/1250668/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
