Package: gnome-pilot
Version: 2.0.15-2.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
gpilotd did not communicate with HAL since ~30/03 in lenny, so synchronisation
never begins, altough it could be forced via pilot-link CLI.
I found HAL key "info.bus" is no more used, and this information is now in
"info.subsystem" key.
With the attached patch, I'm able to sync my Zire 72 using gpilotd.
