[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#903851: dbus does not automatically start after dist-upgrade system stretch with updates from buster

[thardman-TJH4]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.10.26-0+deb9u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

After `apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade` system will not boot properly.
service dbus is never started, fails to boot to anything but recovery mode.

  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Booted to recovery mode via grub. Discovered problem, no /var/run/dbus
directory and thus no socket in that directory. Manually started with `service
dbus start`, checked for existence of /var/run/dbus and it is there now.
Continued boot from this point with 'systemctl default' and system completed
boot including oging ot SDDM display manager login screen.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

System is now usable if booted from Recovery mode and then continued to
"default" runlevels.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the system to boot normally without having to start dbus manually
from Recovery mode.
