Package: dbus-daemon Version: 1.2.14-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
I just upgraded dbus from 1.2.12-1 to 1.2.14-2, and in the same dpkg/aptitude run, hal was upgraded from 0.5.11-8 to 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2. The run didn't complete because the hal postinst script failed - after some investigation I found that it was failing to start hal, because hal was already running. Manually stopping hal allowed my remaining packages to be configured. Unfortunately I don't have logs from the console, but I believe what happened is that hal was deconfigured and stopped, and during this time, dbus-daemon was configured, which restarted the system bus and therefore also restarted hal. To avoid this, the dbus-daemon init script should only restart services which were running when it is run, or this should be moved to a trigger.
