Description Bastien Nocera 2013-11-22 12:14:16 UTC 
In distribute_method_call(), which handles ObjectManager type objects, we might be getting the "No such interface" message when in actual fact the object requested doesn't exist, not that it is present and the interface doesn't exist.

The error message should be amended to state that fact.
