[Bug 811441] Re: Unable to connect to the system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused (oneiric)

[pacrook]

Hi Eduard, Thanks for the pointer (note 4).

Looks like this bug is a different aspect of the underlying problem
reported in #807306, i.e. a broken transition from /var/run to /run.  I
manually replaced /var/run with a simlink to /run and /var/lock with a
simlink to /run/lock (having moved all the contents of /var/run into
/run) and then rebooted.  This seems to have cured the problem.

I was also stuck with a "system needs a reboot to complete the upgrade"
message, suggesting that something possibly went wrong with the
transition upgrade?  That message has now cleared itself, and as I said,
I didn't trash the contents of /var/run just moved them to /run.
