The first error:-

Setting up dbus (1.2.16-2ubuntu4.1) ...
The system user `messagebus' already exists. Exiting.
Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Did not receive a
reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a
reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
dpkg: error processing dbus (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Caused the subsequent errors:-

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of consolekit:
 consolekit depends on dbus (>= 1.1.2); however:
  Package dbus is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing consolekit (--configure):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
