[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#397511: dbus fails on startup. segfaults, users can no longer log in

[S. Banerian]

More information this item:

dbus failed to start. but also updated packages login/passwd may be the
culprit.

This may actually be related to bug #447237

only one user can log in, and after that errors ensue..

additionally, getent segfaults, and that may lead to the dbus errors
