Bug Description

Binary package hint: dbus

While updating from 9.10 to 10.04, I get a message:

noticed syslog is being flooded:

May 3 17:19:33 kevin pulseaudio[4185]: main.c: Start des Daemons fehlgeschlagen.

These messages are repeated once per second. I found bug #442788 to produce the same message.
After checking the permissions for /lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper I found them to be -rw------- which is obviuosly wrong. Changed them to -rwsr-xr-- let's the daemon successfully start.

Now, when running "apt-get update" I still get the same error message plus the permissions get set back to the wrong value.

Solved on Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.10) by apt-get install pacman... hope it helps someone...

Can you still reproduce this bug on an up-to-date installation? Can you provide us with the files /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg? Have you tried reinstalling the package, and then attempting the upgrade?
