Another confirmation on another edgy box -- after the latest dist- upgrade it broke hal in the same way. Only this time, the packages upgraded were upstart and upstart-compat-sysv.
Could this be upstart related? I reverted from upstart to sysvinit, but it did NOT resolve the problem. ** Also affects: upstart (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- security policy error with hald after latest updates https://launchpad.net/bugs/58165 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
