I stared at that patch again, and it indeed looks fishy now
(incompatibility to the ioctl). I backed out the patch and will discuss
this with the author and upstream.
hal (0.5.7-1ubuntu15) dapper; urgency=low
.
* Fix name of 14_prove_volume_invalidlabel.patch -> s/prove/probe/.
* Disable debian/patches/13_probe_input_endianess.patch for now; it is
incorrect (the ioctl expects chars, not long) and causes crashes.
Closes: LP#43962 (and half a dozen dups)
** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
