This bug was fixed in the package dbus - 1.1.20-1ubuntu1

---------------
dbus (1.1.20-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * New upstream release: Tons of bug fixes, a security fix (CVE-2008-0595),
    and two small new features:
    - inotify support (to replace previous dnotify implementation); can be
      disabled with configure switch if it causes trouble
    - Add matching support for program binaries in dbus policy rules.
  * Merge with Debian unstable; remaining changes:
    - debian/patches/81-session.conf-timeout.patch: Raise the service startup
      timeout from 25 to 60 seconds. It may be too short on the live CD with
      slow machines.
    - Add consolekit (>= 0.2.3-3ubuntu2) dependency, which provides
      pam_console compatible stamps in /var/run/console. This keeps
      "at_console" policies working until we get rid of them completely.
      (See policykit-integration spec)
    - debian/dbus.{postinst,prerm}: Do not restart dbus on upgrades, since it
      breaks too many applications. Instead, trigger a "reboot required"
      notification. Since this cancels the postinst early, add an explicit
      update-rc.d call to the symlink migration.
    - debian/rules: Do not install /etc/X11/Xsession.d/75dbus_dbus-launch, we
      do not need it for Gnome, KDE, and XFCE, and it causes trouble.
      (LP #62163)
    - debian/dbus.preinst: Remove obsolete conffile
      /etc/X11/Xsession.d/75dbus_dbus-launch on upgrades. This needs to be
      kept until after Hardy's release.
  * Debian's forceful way of RC symlink migration should finally fix all the
    previous upgrade issues with wrong priorities. (LP: #25931)

dbus (1.1.20-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Loic Minier ]
  * Forcefully remove old init script symlinks on upgrades to this version to
    properly reinstall the init script when using insserv or file-rc; thanks
    Petter Reinholdtsen; closes: #466503.

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * New upstream release.

dbus (1.1.4-1) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Loic Minier ]
  * Merge patch from Ubuntu to build a devhelp file; thanks Martin Pitt;
    closes: #454142.
    - Build-dep on xsltproc.
    - New patch, dbus-1.0.1-generate-xml-docs, enables generation of XML docs
      which serve as source for the devhelp generation.
    - Add a XSLT file from the Fedora package, debian/doxygen_to_devhelp.xsl.
    - Generate the devhelp file from the XML files thanks to the XSL file via
      xsltproc in build/dbus-1-doc::.
    - Install the devhelp index in dbus-1-doc and move the HTML documentation
      around; add a symlink from the gtk-doc dir.
  * Misc smallish whitespace cleanups.
  * Start dbus at runlevel priority 12 and stop at priority 88.  This
    eliminates the race condition of starting the X session before hal is
    running.  Migrate rc?.d symlinks from 20 to 12/88 on upgrades.  This need
    to be kept until after lenny is released.
  * Set LSB Default-Stop section to 1 and only install a shutdown script for
    runlevel 1 to only stop dbus when going down to single user mode; dbus can
    simply be killed like everything else on shutdown or reboot by sendsigs;
    drop rc0 and rc6.d symlinks on upgrades.
  * Bump up dbus-x11 conflicts/replaces to << 1.1.2 to match the transition
    version in Ubuntu and reduce the delta.
  * Cleanup trailing whitespace.
  * Drop superfluous exit 0 at the end of dbus' init script which is set -e.
  * Add ${shlibs:Depends} to libdbus-1-dev.
  * Simplify dbus.postinst.
  * Rename patch dbus-1.0.1-generate-xml-docs to
    10_dbus-1.0.1-generate-xml-docs to reflect current patch stack order.
  * Set shlibs via DEB_DH_MAKESHLIBS_ARGS_ALL instead of libdbus-1-3.shlibs
    and extract libdbus-1-3 package name from control to avoid hardcoding the
    SONAME and package name.

  [ Michael Biebl ]
  * New upstream release.
  * Deprecate the ENABLED option and remove it from /etc/default/dbus. Print a
    warning message in the init script if this option is still used.
  * debian/patches/03_uuid_nul.patch
    - Removed, merged upstream.
  * debian/patches/04_dbus_launch.patch
    - Removed, merged upstream.
  * debian/control
    - Bump Standards-Version to 3.7.3. No further changes required.
  * debian/dbus.init
    - Fix LSB init header. Use $remote_fs instead of $local_fs as the
      daemon requires /usr to be mounted.
      Remove S from Should-Stop. (Closes: #459473)
    - Use mountpoint to check if /proc is mounted. (Closes: #458392)
    - Decrease retry-time to 5 secs on stop. (Closes: #462182)
