I'm currently in an upgrade loop related to Hal. Anything I try to do to Hal gives me something like the following. I found there might have been a problem with Splashy that was just fixed but trying to upgrade it doesn't make a difference. I have reloaded all the packages in limbo without any change.

This is a Splasy problem, see bug #522104. Move /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh to some temporary file, then updating hal should work.
