[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#396074: libdbus-1-3: libdbus not set up correctly

[Onet]

Package: libdbus-1-3
Version: 0.94-1
Severity: normal


When starting gaim I get the following error message:

"D-Bus library appears to be incorrectly set up; failed to read machine uuid: Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory
See the manual page for dbus-uuidgen to correct this issue.
Continuing with a bogus made-up machine UUID, which may cause problems."


Both the directory /var/lib/dbus/ and the executable dbus-uuidgen (and its manpage) are not available on the system. Is this a post-install and a dependency problem?
