Just as a side note: This procedure has the probably unwanted side
effect that all previsously installed packages are now marked as
"manually installed". You could have used something like
aptitude search '~i!~M'
in order to generate a list of only the packages you had installed
manually.

A quick googling returns this bug:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591618
So check the gid of the involved user (messagebus) as suggested in #20.
Greetings,

Hi Camaleon and Michael,
yes, indeed, that was exactly the problem as described in bug591618.
I changed the group-id and now it works perfectly.
On the other hand, this misconfiguration appeared during the fresh installation
or the upgrade.
Camaleon: I already had found the bug, you pointed me to, but somehow it was
on the wrong site (the answers were missing, sorry for that).
Michael: I tried to send the message after to debi...@lists.debian.org
again some minutes lates and it worked.
Andrej: Fancy, before my working sending, I got an e-mail from a strange site
with the exact subject title of my mail, which only contents 2 pgp-keys.
Sender was a russian site! I suppose, this was an attack, to let me import
some untrusted/unknown keys, which some MUA can do automatically.
I will watch this.
Thank you all very much for the help! You made my day, I spent hours to find a
solution!
Cheers!
Hans

Importing a key does not mean you automatically trust it, at least with
mutt + GPG

Yeah... me also ;-(
I think this is something related to the other e-mail I sent two days ago:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/05/msg02130.html
I thought this has been solved (it was) but yesterday I started to
receive those e-mails coming from someone named "we we". I've already
contacted to DebianHELP again...

Glad it worked

Same here, we we. I informed the listmaster, maybe this is an MITM or the mail
server is running strange things.
Good to know, I am not the only one, who noticed this.
Have fun!
