dpkg -s python-dbus python -c 'import dbus; print dbus.version' ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- [apport] hal-device-manager crashed with ImportError in <module>() https://launchpad.net/bugs/83979 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
