[SOLVED] problem with update manager (dbus no reply...) after bind-mount

[oniontree]

Hi,
I needed to expand my /usr so I created /home/USR_SHARE moved alle files from /usr/share there and added "/home/USR_SHARE /usr/share none rw,bind 0 0" to my /etc/fstab.
This worked out except for one thing (until now).

After starting update-manager and clicking on 'Install Updates' update-manager doesn't install anything instead it just does the same thing it would do if I clicked on 'Check'. While this process following appears in the terminal from which I started update-manager:

current dist not found in meta-release file
could not send the dbus Inhibit signal: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

(The first line appears directly after starting update-manager.)
There must be a problem with dbus because apt-get upgrade works without any problems.

So now I need help to solve this problem.

THX, oniontree

Ok, problem is much bigger now.
I added sid to sources.list of apt-get and autoremove removed a lot of important files. Now my system works again, but I can't install or remove anything. Error appears, no matter what I try:

Setting up xfonts-scalable (1:1.0.0-6) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/xfonts-scalable.postinst: line 925: update-fonts-scale: command not found
dpkg: error processing xfonts-scalable (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Processing triggers for menu ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
 xfonts-scalable
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
thebla:/var/cache/apt#

I hashed sid in /etc/apt/sources.list now.

Is there a way to remove xfonts-scalable manually or something?

Try to purge it.

apt-get purge xfonts-scalable

In case it doesn't work, move xfonts-scalable.postinst file in /var/lib/dpkg/info folder to another location.

Thanks, everything works after moving the postinst file.
