Package: hal Version: 0.5.7.1-1 Severity: normal I though I'd screwed something up so I purged hal and reinstalled this version and I still get some warnings. For installing I always get this:
Selecting previously deselected package hal. (Reading database ... 202065 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking hal (from .../hal_0.5.7.1-1_i386.deb) ... Setting up hal (0.5.7.1-1) ... adduser: Warning: that home directory does not belong to the user you are currently creating. * Reloading system message bus config [ ok ] * Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald [ ok ] It all seems to be working so I don't know what that warning is for, maybe the name "haldaemon" is too long, it is for "ps -ef | grep hal". Another warning happens when you purge hal and it may be related: (Reading database ... 202147 files and directories currently installed.)
