+Subject: [PATCH] analyze: use normal bus connection for "plot" verb
+
+We need to connect to hostnamed, so a private bus connection is no good.
+It'd be simpler to use the normal bus connection unconditionally, but
+that'd mean that e.g. systemd-analyze set-log-level might not work in
+emergency mode. So let's keep trying to use the private connection except
+for "plot".
+
+Fixes #7667.
