I'm having the same problem. In my case it's Gutsy/i386 not a dist-
upgrade but a simple upgrade from a previous verson of HAL.
Me thinks the Importance needs to go from "undecided" to "critical".
Anytime yesterday would be fine. ;)
I can't access peripherals (notably an external hard drive) and other
packages are depending on HAL and therefore won't install.
