[OpenIndiana-discuss] Failed to execute child process “/usr/lib/dbus-daemon”

[Till Wegmueller]

Hi, predrag

Seems the libexec change requires rebuils because applications hardcoded 
the path to some binaries.... Honestly that is a bit of a nasty habbit. 
We'll see how we can improve tracking of this. Thanks for reporting this.

As a workaround a symlink /usr/lib/dbus-daemon <> 
/usr/libexec/dbus-daemon probably suffices.
