Public bug reported: I decided to upgrade from kubuntu gutsy to kubuntu hardy. Doing so, I ran in to bug 249340 (Gutsy->Hardy upgrade hangs in localedef). Killing localedef worked, and I thought hardy was running fine. However, then it turned out that it failed to configure a few packages:
hal kubuntu-desktop network-manager kde-guidance-powermanager hal-cups-utils network-manager-kde system-config-printer-kde (I really need kde-guidance-powermanager, I didn't try to play DVD's yet.) I get: sudo dpkg --configure -a Setting up hal (0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.2) ... * Reloading system message bus config... [ OK ] * Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "start" failed. dpkg: error processing hal (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 I don't know what further information to provide, please ask...
