Package: hal
Version: 0.5.7-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When hald-runner runs external helpers such as
/usr/share/hal/scripts/hal-system-lcd-set-brightness, it leaks the
stderr pipe it creates. Which means that after a while, further running
of programs will fail.
Attached is a patch that solves the issue.
Cheers
Mike
