Hi Fritz,
There may be another configuration file that needs to be moved.  You can
try moving
~/.dbus and see if that helps.
You can also run sudo dpkg-reconfigure dbus if you want to try to
reconfigure it again.

Unfortunately I have found that configuration files can pose a large
problem sometimes when upgrading.

Oh, and I think unable to find BIOS ROM should be fairly normal, since
PPC doesn't use BIOS it uses Openfirmware.  So it is an error, but one
that is expected from a non-BIOS machine, or at least that is my opinion.

My suspicion is that you are correct, the upgrade changed something and
now the configurations you have conflict with the new versions.  There
may be some option that has changed.

give those a try and see what you come up with.
