Bug Description

$ ls -ld /var/lib/usermetrics/ ; sudo ls -l /var/lib/usermetrics/
drwxr-x--- 2 messagebus usermetrics 4096 Aug 21 11:05 /var/lib/usermetrics/
total 28
-rw-r--r-- 1 messagebus usermetrics 22528 Aug 21 11:05 usermetrics6.db

This may be related to bug #1363129, where rsyslog stopped working because /var/log/syslog was owned by 'usermetrics'.

Workaround:
$ sudo chown -R usermetrics /var/lib/usermetrics/

Just checked on my phone, and the group ownership is also no longer 'usermetrcis' but now 'systemd-journal' instead.

This was prevented with the fix for bug #1332538, but needs to be manually repaired on the affected phones.
Leaving the bug open so folks can find the workaround
