Don't worry :) I think it was the dbus package :O
The upgrade has fixed the broken package :)
Cheers!

Title:
  Errors when running Gufw - does not modify firewall settings

Status in Gufw:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I tried setting both incoming and outgoing to "deny".  I thought the
  result would be that I would not be able to browse the internet or
  access anything outside my computer... I was wrong... it didn't seem
  to change anything.  Why doesn't this work the way I thought it would?

  Well, this is what I did...
    Started Gufw
      made sure that status is "on" and incoming is "deny" and outgoing is "deny"
  (I am assuming that this takes effect the moment it is changed...)
     Then I started my browser, logged into my gmail account, clicked on the link to this page, and wrote this message.

  YET, you said that with outgoing=deny I should not be able to browse
  or connect to the internet. The only thing that I can think of is,
  that the changes in Gufw do not take effect immediately... otherwise
  why am I able to connect to the internet now?

  Further to this situation... I did close gufw and then reopen it. The
  settings were saved and both incoming and outgoing were still set to
  "deny". I even logged off, logged back into Lubuntu and now I'm
  writing this message (after verifying again that ufa setting were both
  set to deny outgoing and incoming).

  I now see that when I run gufw in terminal I get some errors. Here's
  what it shows...
