[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#791917: dbus: Missing dependency on mountpoint from util-linux package

[Jan Krotký]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.8.18-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

after updating, decided to restart system after 20 days uptime. During startup
dbus failed to start as it is using mountpoint in starting script to determine
if /proc/ exists. System comes to a KDE login screen without network, keyboard
and mouse.

Unplugging and reconnecting keyboard makes it usable again. So I was able to
switch to console as plasma ends in segfault and black screen.
Running /etc/init.d/dbus start reveals the two line error:
"mountpoint: not found" and an error that comes from that if statement in
the script.
Network could be restored with setting specific ip address:
ifconfig eth0 up
ifconfig eth0 SOME_VALID_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS
dhclient

Reinstalling package makes no difference
apt-get install --reinstall dbus

After finding out in which package the mountpoint resides
apt-get install util-linux

Rebooting after the installation of the missing package gets the system to a normal state.

I have no idea if the mountpoint command was in previous versions used. I haven't
done any cleanups of unused packages, so i think there is no way that it got uninstalled.
I'm running wheezy with testing sources for a few months now.
