reassign 341824 hal tags 341824 patch thanks As it seems this bug is not an issue of hal-device-manager but hal itself. Both pciutils and usbutils have chosen, to install their *.ids files into /usr/share/misc whereas hal is compiled with hwdata pointing to /var/lib/misc. The attached patched fixes this. (If you feel that pciutils and usbutils install into the wrong location and /var/lib/misc is the correct one, please reassign the bug).
Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
