No output or response from ebusctl help

[miho9]

Hello,

I am trying to debug some issues after restoring my system from a backup. I am running home assistant with the ebusd add-on on a Raspberry Pi 4 with the ebus V5 shield attached.

I am not getting any messages and am trying to look closer into the ebusd setup with ebusctl. I use the advanced shell to get into the docker container running ebusd. There I exceute ebusctl. This is what I am getting from a fresh start:

`
Welcome to the Home Assistant command line interface.

Home Assistant Supervisor is running!

System is ready! Use browser or app to configure.

➜ ~ docker exec -it docker ps | grep ebusd | awk '{print $1}' /bin/bash

2ad9b828-ebusd:/# ebusctl help

There is an older discussion here with the same symptoms but there was something else listening on some port. I don't know of any ports used here and rebooted the system to ensure no inadvertend changes were still present.

Any hints appreciated!
