Package: libhal1
Version: 0.5.7.1-1+b1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hello,
After the upgrade from 0.5.7.1-1 to 0.5.7.1-1+b1 vmware fails to start.
Browsing a bit find a thread talking about this problem on
ubuntu and a bugreport there:
http://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?messageID=470367
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/hal/+bug/59232
They talk about a ABI change in this version.
Feel free to adapt the severity of this problem at will.
Groetjes, Peter

As you can read in both links you provided that describe that bug, you can work
around that with hacking some vmware scripts. Which immediatly shows it's not a
hal ABI change.
So i'm closing this bug. You can fix it with either one of the hacks provided
by the links you provided or by uninstall libdbus-1-2. Although the last option
won't be availabe untill enough of the package are rebuild against the new
libdbus.
