Hal is a core component of the Ubuntu OS and as that, I'd prefer not to backport it. If you need it for one of your repositories, then please build it from feisty with prevu or pbuilder. ** Changed in: edgy-backports (upstream) Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected -- Backport libhal* (0.5.8.1) https://launchpad.net/bugs/73378
