[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#630011: gdm3 fails start with dbus_1.5.1-2

[Mahesh T. Pai]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.5.2-1
Severity: normal

I feel this should be titled critical, but not sure.

After upgrading to 1.5.1-2 from -1, gdm3 fails to start. 

I manually downgraded to -1 using dpkg -i, and gdm3 started. 

Just to check, upgraded back to -2, and the problem reappared,
after reboot. Not when I simply restarted gdm3 manually. 

The problem is not dbus-x11, since right now, version 1.5.2-2 
is what is installed right now, and manually restarting gdm3
after downgrading libdbus and dbus works. 

BTW, xorg.log was complaining about inability to initialise nvidia 
modules. I had upgraded nvidia modules to 275.09.04-1, (building from
nvidia-kernel-source) and had initially attributed the problem to
upgraded of that; but since downgrading nvidia-kernel-source
did not help, finally pinpoint this to dbus.
