Package: hal Version: 0.5.14-1 Severity: normal Same here.
A precision that might be useful to track down this bug. The reason why the postinst fails is that there is a hal process remaining after the upgrade. A call to "invoke-rc.d hal stop" fails to kill this process, so a new one won’t be able to start. A mere kill is sufficient to be able to finish the upgrade. Maybe the init script needs to be made more aggressive in case a hal process not referenced in the pidfile is still running. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20091130-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libblkid1 2.16.2-0 block device id library ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.16-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.82-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 2.0.1-7 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.14-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.14-1 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-13 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii mount 2.16.2-0 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:3.1.4-5 Linux PCI Utilities ii udev 150-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.86-3 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii consolekit 0.4.1-3 framework for defining and trackin ii eject 2.1.5+deb1+cvs20081104-7 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer ii pm-utils 1.2.6.1-3 utilities and scripts for power ma Versions of packages hal suggests: pn gnome-device-manager <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- .''`.
