[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#537203: /usr/lib/dbus placed in /debian/tmp (at root directory!)

[Drew Parsons]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.2.16-1
Severity: serious

Upgrading to dbus 1.2.16-1, I get the following error:

Setting up dbus (1.2.16-1) ...
chown: cannot access `/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing dbus (--configure):

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of consolekit:
 consolekit depends on dbus (>= 1.1.2); however:
  Package dbus is not configured yet.

True enough, there is no /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
on my system.  There is no /usr/lib/dbus* at all!

However...
$ dlocate lib/dbus
dbus: /var/lib/dbus
dbus: /debian/tmp/usr/lib/dbus-1.0
dbus: /debian/tmp/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper


Looks like the dbus package is a little broken....

Marking the bug therefore as serious.
