Ok I have posted this problem here
and followed completely
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/144560
seems it has worked.
Waiting for the last messages.
This seems to be a bug in in dbus as explained here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/552404
and a patch here
https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1450007/+listing-archive-extra
but in the patch which one should I install I am not clear with that part.

What I did to solve this is

Looking at dbus.postinst, commented

/var/lib/dpkg/info/dbus.postinst
 following 2 lines

 dbus-uuidgen --ensure

  dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call \
                --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus \
                / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig > /dev/null

and then dpkg-configure -a
and aptitude safe-upgrade has gone without any errors.

It seems a bug in dbus script which is on Lucid 10.04 server editions
luckily has been fixed.
