Yes you need to download :
http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-355/pool-dapper/hal/hal_0.5.7-1ubuntu18.1_i386.deb
I simply downloaded the 1 file to a directory then right clicked on it 
scrolled down to kubuntu package manager and selected the install 
option.......it complains about installing an older package but works 
fine.
there may be better ways to do this, there are certainly other ways to 
do this as there always is in linux.I think that's one of the reasons 
I like the OS so much.
