whoopsie used in dbus config without depends

[Mike Mestnik]

By depends I mean one of Suggests/Recommends/Depends. Currently, with no other changes, I'd say you need Depends. Thus I think you should change part of your package to accommodate for systems that don't have whoopsie installed.

/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf:91: <policy user="whoopsie">

This leads to...
arcadia:~# cat /var/log/upstart/dbus.log
Unknown username "whoopsie" in message bus configuration file

It's not an error and it doesn't break anything, but it should be easy for you to change things a little. One option is to create this user, though I'd coordinate that with the whoopsie developer. A perhaps better solution is to split this configuration out so that is will only be included if/when whoopsie is installed or the whoopsie user is available.

Thank you.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Ariel Faigon (ariel.faigon)]

Just two little suggestions to make the software more friendly:

    $ strings /usr/bin/dbus-daemon | grep 'Unknown username "%s" in'
    Unknown username "%s" in message bus configuration file

It would be nice if the printer of this error message (dbus-daemon) would change the error message so:

- Add 'warning:' so it isn't interpreted as an error
- Specify the path of the "message bus configuration file" so it would be easy to figure out what needs to be edited to get rid of the warning.

It's annoying to see this bug still around 3 years later,
in Ubuntu 20.04,network-manager 1.22.10-1ubuntu1

[Pavel Řezníček (cigydd)]

This bug still persists. Ubuntu MATE 20.04.4, network-manager 1.22.10-1ubuntu2.3
