hmm simillar error on a arch distrobox
strange this is this was working the other day
https://hastebin.skyra.pw/upemigayix.sql
looks like I missing some dependencies
but I installed this in a new fedora box so is the fedora packaging broken?
also get the same thing on arch
well installed all those packages and still getting the dbus error
this maybe why

Solution
