AWESOME error on start

Hi,

I am a user of awesome wm since many years but today when I start my computer I notice that awesome won't start (only wallpaper). So I remove it (removing config files) and re-install it. But I got an error when calling startx :

Current version of pixman: 0.32.6
	Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
	to make sure that you have the latest version.
Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting,
	(++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational,
	(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
>                   Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server
error while running function
stack traceback:
	/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua:25: in main chunk
error: /etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua:25: attempt to call field 'add_signal' (a nil value)
E: awesome: main:535: couldn't find any rc file
xinit: connection to X server lost

waiting for X server to shut down .(EE) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.

The line 25 of rc.lua is in the following block:

-- Handle runtime errors after startup
do
    local in_error = false
    awesome.add_signal("debug::error", function (err)
        -- Make sure we don't go into an endless error loop
        if in_error then return end
        in_error = true

        naughty.notify({ preset = naughty.config.presets.critical,
                         title = "Oops, an error happened!",
                         text = err })
        in_error = false
    end)
end

Also when I issue awesome -v I got the following about D-Bus:

$ awesome -v
awesome v3.5.6 (For Those About To Rock)

 • D-Bus support: ✘

If someone can help...

Thanks in advance :-)
