Description Dan Ziemba 2008-12-09 16:30:00 UTC
When I install, update, or erase any package using yum, dbus gives an Introspect error, but the package still installs fine.  This is the error message:  

--begin--
Running Transaction
  Installing     : dgen-sdl                                                 1/1 
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.50:/org/freedesktop/PackageKit: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable" member "Introspect" error name "(unset)" destination ":1.50")
=============================== Leaving rpm code ===============================
--end--

This started with the dbus policy changes in 1.2.6, but I have upgraded to 1.2.8 and it still persists.  I am running Fedora 10, here is my relevant info:

kernel: 2.6.27.7-134.fc10.i686
dbus-1.2.8-1.fc10.i386
yum-3.2.20-5.fc10.noarch
PackageKit-0.3.11-4.fc10.i386
PolicyKit-0.9-4.fc10.i386

I probably can't be much help actually figuring out what is wrong here, but I am willing to test any updates or patches.

Have you checked that this is not a red-hat specific issue, or PackageKit. Looking at the error-message, my first suspision would be the config files PackageKit/Red Hat has supplied the dbus-daemon with.
Comment 2 Simon McVittie 2011-01-26 10:14:32 UTC
Either PackageKit should let itself be introspected, or whatever is introspecting it shouldn't. Either way, this isn't D-Bus' fault.
