Its the issue that got noticed by a significant number of users. Anyone who watches the broken dep reports which are generated for package maintainers knows that pre-mature pushes to stable happen sporadically for more niche parts of the software collection. The pre-mature push to stable isn't anything earth shattering, it just happened to be high profile this time. So no the dbus update itself is not the heart of the problem, its just the most obvious symptom and one of the more complicated case since its deeply subtle breakage which affects multiple applications. Honestly I'm having a hard time even thinking about how you would run an automated test that would have caught this breakage, unless you were already expecting it. And if you were expecting it...then what's the point of the test. > Automated X-driven testing? Nothing exists yet, correct? I would love to > have something to test my software at work.
