Bug#759654: systemctl: Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply.

[Jos van Wolput]

Package: systemd
Version: 214-1 (experimental)
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading systemd v.208-8 to v.214-1 systemctl status/start/stop <some service>.service (in a root terminal) quite often shows the 
following error:
---
Failed to issue method call: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus 
security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
---
To get systemctl working I have to repeat it a few times until I get the result.

The same error also occurs with apt-get install <some package>.
My network connection is always working!
