Strangely that's exactly what it says in the shipped config file. Just upgrade an amd64 machine to the version in unstable and it has exactly that. Did you by mistake not let dpkg update the config file? Please check if the md5sums match: $ grep hal.conf /var/lib/dpkg/status ; md5sum /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf > I also think it is safe to remove the lines referring to the user hal since > it should not be of any use anymore (however it is still present in my > /etc/passwd... another little bug?) Not removing the user is on purpose. Leaving the old hal user around shouldn't hurt, but mistakenly removing a real user called hal from the system is quite nasty :) Thus the user is not removed so that that can never happen.
