The same problem with me:<br><br> Reloading system message bus config...Failed to open connection to system message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused...<br> ...Error processing hal --configure... <br>
<br clear="all"> This is when using "dist-upgrade" on Debian etch to lenny/sid.<br> I solve this with waking up the dbus with:<br> /etc/init.d/dbus start<br>At that point start apt-get -f install and all thing pass normaly<br>
