Package: dbus
Version: 1.16.2-2devuan1
Severity: normal

Hey,
just run apt upgrade, and newer dbus (1.16.2-2devuan1) came in. but 
installation failed :

"
Installing dbus-system-bus-common (1.16.2-2devuan1) ...
Failed to read 'dbus.conf': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing package dbus-system-bus-common (--configure):
  installed dbus-system-bus-common package post-installation script 
subprocess returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dbus:
  dbus depends on dbus-system-bus-common (>= 1.16.2-2devuan1). However:
   Package dbus-system-bus-common isn't configured yet.

dpkg: error processing package dbus (--configure):
  προβλήματα εξάρτησης - αφήνεται μη ρυθμισμένο
Προέκυψαν σφάλματα κατά την επεξεργασία του:

downgrading all related dbus packages to testing version
