I did it this way: sudo apt-get install hal=0.5.7-1ubuntu18.1 libhal-dev=0.5.7-1ubuntu18.1 libhal-storage1=0.5.7-1ubuntu18.1 libhal1=0.5.7-1ubuntu18.1
If you don't have the libhal-dev package already installed, you can omit it -- Latest hal update breaks USB stick mounting in kubuntu dapper kde 3.5.5 https://launchpad.net/bugs/72869 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
