Hi Jochen,

Yeah. There was a Systemd update in that last batch of updates.

> Failed to get D-Bus connection: Too many levels of symbolic links

There ware two things to check:

1.) Please check if /var/run is a symbolic link to /run and most likely
it is not.

The typical fix is to do this:

rm -R /var/run
ln -s /run /var/run

2.) Check if /run/dbus/system_bus_socket is a Symbolic link to
/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket. That should also not be the case.

If it is, do the following:

rm /run/dbus/system_bus_socket
rm -R /var/run
ln -s /run /var/run

And yes: There is then no way around a reboot after either one of these
two. :-/
