What permissions does your /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper have? It should look something like this: % ls -l /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper -rwsr-xr-- 1 root messagebus 293008 Feb 13 17:46 /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper (size/date may vary by architecture). The important things here are that it's setuid root, and it's executable by group messagebus (only), i.e. 04754 root:messagebus. Please also check that your messagebus user and group are as expected: % getent passwd messagebus messagebus:x:103:104::/var/run/dbus:/bin/false % getent group messagebus messagebus:x:104: The actual numbers are not important here, as long as they're in the system uid/gid range; the important thing is that the messagebus user's primary gid (104 here) matches the messagebus group's gid. Also check the output of dpkg-statoverride --list /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper echo result=$? We've had bug reports before where dbus-daemon-launch-helper randomly lost its setuid bit (-rwx... instead of -rws...) or got the wrong group ID, but none of the dbus maintainers have been able to reproduce this, and dbus.postinst is meant to fix it anyway... > All dbus related services (Network Manager, Upower etc) seem affected; in KDE > such services are totally unavailable. Right, losing your dbus-daemon-launch-helper will break all system-bus services like NM and upower (but not session-bus services which run under your own uid, like Telepathy or Tracker). > I tried to revert to wheezy version or jump to experimental one with no > changes. 1.4.18-1 (sid) and 1.5.8-1 (exp) both seem fine to me, and dbus.postinst is meant to fix the launch helper's permissions and ownership, so whatever's wrong on your system, it persists between installations.
