Package: hal Version: 0.5.6-2 Severity: important
After update to 0.5.6-2 the /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal script locks up: start-stop-daemon waits for hald process fork which apparently doesn't occur. /usr/sbin/hald actually forks but it seems unable to detach completely, even when explicitly calling it with the '--daemon=yes' option. Passing the dirty '--background' option to start-stop-daemon allowed me to start the system (without that it hung at the 'Starting Hardware abstraction layer: hald' message) with functional dbus+hal.
