TBH, I think the dependencies of kde-devel are broken, if they pull in
hal as a build-dependency.
Concerning the build failure: I guess it is, that the haldaemon user was
not correctly created und thus hald fails to start. Could you verify
that? Are there any special modifications to adduser/shadow etc on this
buildd?
