Package: hal Version: 0.5.8.1-1 Severity: important
07_ppc_suspend.patch causes hald to crash on startup on this machine. + if (!strcmp(hal_device_property_get_string(d, "power_management.type"), "pmu")) { + /* We got our own helper for suspend PMU machines */ + can_suspend = TRUE; + } it appears that the hal_device_property_get_string call returns NULL, so strcmp dies. Removing the patch and rebuilding the package gives me a working hal daemon. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15 Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.97 Add and remove users and groups ii dbus 0.93-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 0.93-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.71-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-3.3 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.12.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.8.1-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.8.1-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-2 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id0 0.100-2 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.1-17 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii pciutils 1:2.2.4~pre4-1 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 0.100-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.72-5 USB console utilities hal recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
