The HAL API changed with the 0.5 series. You cannot mix older and newer versions of the software. The version of Ivman you are using requires HAL 0.4x and the corresponding DBUS. The later versions were package masked until recently, when they were unmasked (KDE 3.5 needs the later versions, maybe GNOME 2.12 too) your emerge world updated to incompatible versions. The safest solution is to put >=sys-apps/hal-0.5 >=sys-apps/dbus-0.36 into /etc/portage/package.mask -- Neil Bothwick Nobody's perfect and since I'm nobody...!
