Package: dbus
Version: 1.8.12-1
Severity: critical

Decided to upgrade my jessie/sid system today to see if remedy for hangouts not
working came about (#770659) and upgrade failed because of dbus.  Here is an
output of  (sudo apt-get -f install -y 2>&1 | xsel -i) and I marked with
critical severity since now I can't use apt for anything (like build-dep):
