Public bug reported: The UpdateManager.Core.UpdateList function loads in "/var/lib/dbus /machine-id" to generate a unique seed.
This file should be provided by dbus, simply installing dbus fixes the issue (or touching the missing file). However there is no dependency for dbus. I found this issue when running the apt-check script on a server with outstanding packages to install and without dbus installed.
