I already attached the ruby script to the original bug report.

package-list.txt is the original source list, made up manually from a
tool that gave me a dated list of pkg installs to my several-years-old
18.04 system. package-log.txt is simply a pass-fail log. Since dms is
almost certainly being installed as a dependency, the higher-level
package should show up later in the fail list.

I have checked synaptic and it appears that the basic dbus packages
are all there. The daemon is running.
