--- Begin Message ---Package: hal Version: 0.5.13-2 Severity: critical Updating, or reinstalling 0.5.13-2 of the hal packages completely hoses my whole system: - keyboard is gone - /dev seems to be gone When reinstalling I get: 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 (--install) ... Wonderful. It might be that concoction of insserv that is playing a role here, since when I tried to login in single user mode the PATH of root didn't contain /usr/sbin, and several other strange things occurred while shutting down. Then, even better, calling halt from single user mode didn't do a proper shutdown, on next reboot: /dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced. Even better. That is a *real* pain. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_IE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash
