[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#840504: dbus: installation from chroot/systemd-nspawn fails

[linus.luessing at c0d3.blue]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.8.20-0+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm currently trying to install dbus in a freshly debootstrapped
directory with the following command:

$ systemd-nspawn --bind /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static -D "./" /bin/bash -c "export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive; apt-get install -y task-desktop"

Unfortunately this fails with the following message:

~~~~~
[...]
Setting up libsmbclient:amd64 (2:4.4.5+dfsg-3+b1) ...
Setting up network-manager (1.4.2-1+b1) ...
invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel
Reloading system message bus config...Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "force-reload" failed.
invoke-rc.d: could not determine current runlevel
Processing triggers for libc-bin (2.24-3) ...
[...]
~~~~~

Moreover, dpkg is left in a broken state:
"E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem."

Which is only fixable with this command in a fully booted
system as otherwise the same dbus reload issue happens
again.

Would it be possible to just skip the reload part if
it wasn't possible to determine the current runlevel?

Regards, Linus
