Package: hal
Version: 0.5.14-8
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
After upgrading from wheezy to jessie, hald fails to start from systemd,
and also when trying to run it manually for debugging purposes.
The problem seems to be caused by hald running "/sbin/udevadm info -r",
which causes udevadm to output a usage message and fail with exit code 2.
On wheezy the same command prints "/dev" and completes without error (on a
different machine).
