Hi This happened to me, not when upgrading but when installing hal for first time on a kFreeBSD system. After the first time, if I start dbus manually, then hal works.
This is the error message: Setting up hal (0.5.14-2) ... Reloading system message bus config...Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: Connection refused invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "force-reload" failed. Starting Hardware abstraction layer: haldinvoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing hal (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: hal E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
