Er, why do you have a version of dbus from late 2013?

Version 1.6.18 was superseded long ago, and has known security
vulnerabilities. Please upgrade this to at least the version from Debian
8 (jessie), which is currently 1.8.20-0+deb8u1, before attempting to
upgrade beyond that.

You seem to have some packages that are newer than Debian 8 (jessie),
but a significant number of packages that are newer than Debian 7
(wheezy) but older than Debian 8. Debian does not support skipping a
stable release while upgrading. If you are starting from a machine that
was last up-to-date before Debian 8 was released, and you now intend to
be running testing/unstable, I would strongly recommend upgrading to
Debian 8 first, and only then upgrading from there to current testing
(which will eventually become Debian 9).

I don't think this is a bug. Please see <https://www.debian.org/support>
if you need further advice.
