Package: hal Version: 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
When init.d starts hald the computer stops dead and cannot be booted. A power cycle is required to restart the machine. It is only possible to use the computer with hald disabled. The problem has happened on the 2.6.26 and 2.6.30 kernels. When running the 2.6.18 kernel I can start hald, though it does take an age to start. This is only happening on an old Dell Inspiron 3500 notebook, my more modern systems seem perfectly happy. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii acl 2.2.47-3 Access control list utilities ii adduser 3.110 add and remove users and groups ii consolekit 0.3.0-3 framework for defining and trackin ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20090716-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib 0.82-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.4.1-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.20.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-stora 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.12~git20090406.46dc48-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libpolkit2 0.9-4 library for accessing PolicyKit ii libsmbios2 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa ii libstdc++6 4.4.1-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id 0.141-1 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.15.1~rc1-1 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:3.1.3-2 Linux PCI Utilities ii pm-utils 1.2.5-4 utilities and scripts for power ma ii policykit 0.9-4 framework for managing administrat ii udev 0.141-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.84-1 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-6 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii libsmbios-bin 2.0.3.dfsg-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa Versions of packages hal suggests: pn gnome-device-manager <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
