Can’t find org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop. Is xdg-desktop-portal running?

Package: wireplumber

Version: 0.4.13-1

While examining the output of journalctl -b, I found the message “Can’t find org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop. Is xdg-desktop-portal running?” first bold and then yellow:

The boot log contains no prior mentioning of xdg-desktop-portal, but the package xdg-desktop-portal itself is installed in version 1.16.0-2.  Either the error message is bogus, or something is really not found thought it should be there.  In any case, the situation should be repaired.  I use an up-to-date Debian stable “bookworm”.

Gratefully,
