Package: hal
Version: 0.5.13-2
Severity: critical
Updating, or reinstalling 0.5.13-2 of the hal packages completely
hoses my whole system:
- keyboard is gone
- /dev seems to be gone
When reinstalling I get:
Reloading system message bus config...Failed to open connection to "system"
message bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket:
Connection refused
invoke-rc.d: initscript dbus, action "force-reload" failed.
Starting Hardware abstraction layer: haldinvoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action
"start" failed.
dpkg: error processing hal (--install)
...
Wonderful.
It might be that concoction of insserv that is playing a role here, since
when I tried to login in single user mode the PATH of root didn't contain
/usr/sbin, and several other strange things occurred while shutting down.
Then, even better, calling halt from single user mode didn't do a proper
shutdown, on next reboot:
/dev/sda3 contains a file system with errors, check forced.
Even better.
That is a *real* pain.

The original bug submitter can of course close the bug report.
It's very unfortunate that you started to "hijack" this bug report with your
wlan problems (where there is a separate bug already), when this bug report was
about something different.
So closing this one again, and let's deal with the wlan problems in #540613,
shall we.
If #540613 doesn't match your problem, please report a new one and please
provide more specific details.
Cheers,
Michael
