XFCE4 & dbus: failed to start

pin Check the repository in /usr/pkg/etc/pkgin/repositories.conf
http://cdn.NetBSD.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/9.2/All
Have a good night!
I will be here tomorrow.
CiotBSD OK, I will reinstall both later. Thanks for support/help me!
If anything wrong happens, remember to past here the last lines (or the relevant ones) of /var/db/pkgin/pkg_install-err.log 
. pkg_add will tell you to look into that file if the reinstall process fails
Ok. I will check this tomorrow.
Perhaps, during this, you can see/analyze my pkg_install-err.log (posted on other); see: https://termbin.com/arzr

useradd: Warning: home directory
/var/run/dbus' doesn't exist, and -m was not specified/nonexistent' doesn't exist, and -m was not specified
useradd: Warning: home directory
So it seems useradd(8) failed to create the respective home directories for the dbus and polkitd users. I'm no maintainer so @pin probably knows better why this may be happening.
pkg_add: /usr/pkg/pkgdb/pkg/+CONTENTS: No such file or directory
pkg_admin: Cannot read +CONTENTS of package pkg
This and all the analogue following errors would suggest you're dealing with a split pkgdb issue, following the package database directory change happened earlier this year (that's why pin was asking you to inspect the contents of both /usr/pkg/pkgdb and /var/db/pkg). However, given you're on a fresh install and used only the standard stable repo, this is not really likely. Moreover, your file listing of /var/db/ didn't return a pkg directory.
I wonder if there's any connection between this problem and the missing package executables you reported few days ago.
JuvenalUrbino I'm no maintainer so @pin probably knows better why this may be happening.
So, I had a quick look at the dbus package and these should be creates when installing the package. Something really strange going on.
pin Something really strange going on.
I agree. That's also why last time I had asked OP about their filesystem integrity, the way it was mounted (in terms of options) and whether they had enabled veriexec over /usr (that was not the case). Another hypothesis could have been a global Pax SegvGuard,but again OP stated clearly they're running on a pretty much vanilla configuration.
In my roughly 5 years of NetBSD use I faced a similar problem (missing files, corrupted package database, screwed mD5 checksums, unreadable +CONTENTS) twice. The first time was after sudden power outage occurred in the middle of a package upgrade. The second time it was due to a faulty hard drive. Performing a S.M.A.R.T. test revealed a consistent and growing unreadable/reallocated sectors count.
Something is seriously messed-up with OP's setup or HW. What does dmesg show?

Hi, all.

$Can you add these lines to /boot.cfg and reboot:
userconf=disable agp*
userconf=disable bwi*That disables the AGP port (not needed, I think) and also the wireless LAN (use the wired connection for now). I'm asking you to disable WLAN because:
$ fgrep pin ciotbsd-dmesg.txt
[ 1.000968] bwi0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 17
...
[ 1.000968] ichsmb0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 17
$Interrupt sharing between unrelated devices may be OK with PCI, let's not do it while we're figuring out what's wrong. Plus, those are the only 2 devices that show evident errors.
You may have to re-install the system, in which case, to disable these devices before install begins, you'll have to use the userconf facility: interrupt the boot loader, then at the > bootloader prompt type boot -c. Now the kernel will boot then almost immediately drop into userconf mode. At the uc> prompt, type disable agp*, disable bwi* then quit
See if your HW behaves properly afterwards & also if pkgin works OK.
rvp That disables the AGP port (not needed, I think)
I'm positive (may as well be wrong) agp(4) is needed as a module dependency for nouveau to be loaded (dev/agp device being used to allocate physical memory for graphics), but we'll see 
Ok, something is for sure wrong with dbus, I'll post this on the mailing lists.
I've just created a qemu-VM, installed NetBSD (clean install of 9.99.88 from yesterday evening) and pkgin install dbus, no other packages installed, gives me a warning
useradd: Warning: home directory '/var/run/dbus' doesn't exist, and -m was not specified
Removing dbus, creating the directory and re-installing eliminates the warning as expected but, this is not right. Last change to the package took place on Tue Mar 30 18:09:45 2021 UTC (4 months, 3 weeks ago).
This being said, it does not explain why packages don't get registered in pkgdb.

Well, at least my i915drmkms doesn't seem to miss it.

This is a pretty old one--I've seen this many times before, but, its fine 'cause the rc script creates that dir. when it runs.
Hi, all.
Excuse-mi, if I'm not understand all clearly (I'm under codeine).
I disables agp and bwi segun @rvp's suggestions.
