This socket is opened by systemd on behalf of dbus via

$ cat /lib/systemd/system/dbus.socket
[Unit]
Description=D-Bus System Message Bus Socket

[Socket]
ListenStream=/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket

Re-assigning to dbus.
Dmitry, can you also post the dbus version you are using?


Simon, do you expect any breakage if we move the socket file to /run?
/var/run should typically be a symlink to /var/run, so it should still
be accessible under the old name. There might be setups's though, where
/var/run is not a symlink to /run, but I don't know if we support such
non-symlink configurations.

According to codesearch [1], we have quite a few locations where
"/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket" is hard-coded.
