Bug Description

Binary package hint: dbus

dbus fails to start with error message

run-parts: /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal exited with return code 1

If your network is up
You are using nss_ldap
The host argument in libnss-ldap.conf is commented out because you are using ldap SRV records in DNS instead, which has been supported in nss_ldap for some time.
AND your DNS server is not reachable.

The above settings only make sense if the machine is a laptop and you are also using nss-updatedb
