DBUS 1.16.0-1.1 "The permission of the setuid helper is not correct"

After upgrading DBUS 1.16.0-1 to 1.16.0-1.1 my system broke

downgrading back resolved it

On the system where this new version was tested dbus started ok.

Where and when do you get these errors? Which init? Without any details it's not possible to troubleshoot reported problems.

Artix Plasma with OpenRC

I ran sudo pacman -Syu and after it was done I couldn't update flatpak after that. Got error The permission of the setuid helper is not correct. Read about it and it was related to DBUS. I figured I might need a reboot, so I did that, but then plasma wouldn't login. Logged into openshell, viewed pacman log, saw dbus upgraded, sudo downgrade dbus and now my login and system work again.

Yes, I can confirm I'm getting the same errors, I thought I fucked up something with Xorg because I was cleaning up my installation before moving to NVME, but I have the same problems with setuid stuff, so nothing dbus related works, polkit stopped working, gvfs doesnt register on thunar and more...

EDIT: Updated to dbus 1.16.1-1.2 and problem disappeared. Thank you.

I updated to 1.16.1-1.2

it broke everything again

now I can't downgrade, because if I try downgrade it says:

Yeah, I had to reboot twice for this to work, dbus is just weird, first I thought it was that weird /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/80-dbus.sh file that I removed which is provided by dbus-openrc and dbus-runit, I'm kinda not sure it is proper place for stuff like this if we're taking wayland into consideration, but meh that was just unrelated and shit started working again after reboot... Could I ask someone from maintainers to look into this if it is even needed?
