[Bug 44770] Re: HAL bootup command is wrong (falls back to -h)

[Chuck Noyes]

After upgrading from 'breezy' to 'dapper beta 2', the upgrade script
added "DAEMON_OPTS=--retain-privileges" to my /etc/default/hal file.
Upon rebooting, the hald fails to start. It says --retain-privileges is
not a vaild argument. The hald man page say it is valid. If I comment
out that line, the hald starts normally, but none of my devices (USB,
CD-ROM, etc) will automount. hald --version reports 0.5.7 and kernel is
2.6.15-23-386
