[Bug 552404] [NEW] dbus fails to be configured in chroots

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: dbus

Similar to #441100, but I'm not sure if it's a duplicate, so I'm filing
it separately.

While upgrading my Lucid/i386 chroot, I got this error:
"Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory"

The result was that dbus and all of the packages that depend on it were
left in an unconfigured state, breaking my chroot.

Looking at dbus.postinst, the problem seems to be this line:
  dbus-send --print-reply --system --type=method_call \
	--dest=org.freedesktop.DBus \
  / org.freedesktop.DBus.ReloadConfig > /dev/null

I believe this should either have an "if we_are_not_in_a_chroot" in front of it,
or an "|| true" at the end of it, as detecting chroots can be difficult.
