Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable using the nocheck build profile,
all the above packages failed to build. The root cause is probably the same,
so I'm filing a single bug for all of them, which is easy to reassign,
initially against dbus-system-bus-common.

This is the way it fails:

Setting up dbus-system-bus-common (1.16.2-2) ...
fatal: The user `messagebus' already exists and has a password. Exiting.
dpkg: error processing package dbus-system-bus-common (--configure):
  old dbus-system-bus-common package postinst maintainer script subprocess failed with exit status 13

I've put full build logs for all the packages here:

https://people.debian.org/~sanvila/build-logs/202601/

Maybe this is related to this other bug in the shadow package:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1124795

but I'm not really sure. If the bugs are really the same and they have to be merged,
please keep the affects.

(I've put Chris in x-debbugs-cc).

Thanks.
