[Bug 955188] Re: software-center crashed with DBusException in __new__(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

Here is the error message:
...
 File "/usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/backend/installbackend_impl/aptd.py", line 63, in get_dbus_bus
    bus = dbus.SystemBus()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 194, in __new__
    private=private)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/_dbus.py", line 100, in __new__
    bus = BusConnection.__new__(subclass, bus_type, mainloop=mainloop)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dbus/bus.py", line 122, in __new__
    bus = cls._new_for_bus(address_or_type, mainloop=mainloop)
DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.FileNotFound: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory

This appears to be a missing dbus system socket. There is nothing that
software-center can do about this. I reassign.

** Visibility changed to: Public

** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => dbus (Ubuntu)
