Request to own name refused by policy when you add a policy at runtime

[ghost]

On a running system with dbus-broker when you install a package that acquires a name on the bus and installs a system.d/ policy.conf then access is denied (probably because dbus-broker isnt aware of the newly installed policy file):

DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Request to own name refused by policy

To reproduce:

dnf install tuned
systemctl enable tuned
systemctl start tuned

(watch it hang until it times out trying to get a name on the bus)

A reboot fixes the issue (probably because dbus-broker re-reads /etc/dbus-1/

I think this is a duplicate of #57

Okay, if that is the case then please close this one

Yes, this is a duplicate of #57. Thanks!

I am seeing this issue in dbus-broker 26 but the duplicate issue command works fine, environment: fedora 33

journalctl does not record any related failure

@ideepika The underlying issue of this report was fixed. If you think you hit an actual bug, please open another report (so the others are not needlessly notified of the new discussion), and please include as much information as you can. I will gladly look into to, but given that the old issue was identified, I need a hole lot more information to know what exactly is going on in your case.
