Hello, now that we have a working /proc tree, we discovered that the dbus daemon is not starting up correctly:
Setting up dbus (1.2.1-3) ... The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting. Starting system message bus: dbusFailed to start message bus: Failed to bind socket "/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket": Cannot assign requested address invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing dbus (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Not only does this make quite some package fail to build for Debian GNU/Hurd; dbus is also becoming more and more important in today's desktop world, so it would be good if somebody could look into this and make it work. The Debian dbus package does not seem to run the test suite during the package build, so running that and fixing any issues would be a good first step. thanks, Michael
