noticed syslog is being flooded:

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.
