[Bug 44005] hal dies on startup after upgrade

[bartman]

Public bug reported:

Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
Affects: hal (Debian)
       Severity: Unknown
       Priority: Unknown
         Status: Unknown


Description:
Binary package hint: hal

I am running dapper/amd64.  I upgraded to hal 0.5.7-1ubuntu13 and dbus
0.60-6ubuntu6, with a normal apt-get upgrade.

HAL now consistantly crashes 
 - on boot
 - on /etc/init.d/hal restart

The fact that it's not there is not as anoying as the fact that when it
dies it kills everyting (all login shells, X servers, etc).

I have noted that Debian BTS has something similar reported.
