As per [https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/python/#travis-ci-uses-isolated-virtualenvs](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/python/#travis-ci-uses-isolated-virtualenvs), Python builds run in a virtualenv, and [`dbus` is a 3rd-party module](https://pypi.org/project/dbus-python/). You need to `pip install` it.

^^ see this
I’m getting

> `Requested 'dbus-1 >= 1.8' but version of dbus is 1.6.18`
[Xenial reports to have `dbus 1.10`](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+package/dbus)
([Trusty seems to only has `1.6` available](https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/dbus) so you probably won’t be able to `apt-get` anything newer, either).
So you need to migrate to `dist: xenial`. Or use an older version of `dbus-python`.
Also [the link I gave earlier](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/languages/python/#travis-ci-uses-isolated-virtualenvs) says that you shouldn’t run with system site packages.
