Installation failing (and so is starting many KDE programs)

[Alan Wood]

I finally found it.

I had a hosts file with 2 entires for "localhost" both pointing to 127.0.0.1

My guess is that starting dbus-daemon --session would ask for the ip of
"localhost", get the same entry twice and then try to open the port 2
times...
