Package: hal
Severity: normal
I run a Debian/Etch chroot environment within Ubuntu/Dapper and CentOS4
host OSs (it's a long story). When aptitude upgrading hal, I get the
following output:
With Ubuntu/Dapper host OS:

These symptoms manifest with hal version 0.5.7.1-1. I do not remember
seeing these symptoms with hal version 0.5.7-2; it's possible I did not
notice them.
Are these symptoms indicative of a problem in the hal package itself? If
so, I can collect more information. If this problem is caused by my
chroot shenanigans, I'm more than happy for this ticket to be close and
I will investigate the problem myself.
