Hardly an issue. Just do:

$ apt -s install dbus-x11 
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  dbus-x11
0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Inst dbus-x11 (1.12.20-2 Debian:11.5/stable [amd64])
Conf dbus-x11 (1.12.20-2 Debian:11.5/stable [amd64])
$ 

Sometimes it's worth thinking twice.

Cheers,
David.
