[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#458069: Work-around

[Paul H]

I encountered this problem when upgrading from the latest etch to testing.

I was forced to ctrl-c the hal installation script, and then my
dist-upgrade would fail to continue.

The problem seems to be related to dbus. For some reason, running dpkg -i
dbus_1.1.2-1_i386.deb, and then re-running apt-get install hal seems to
have resolved the problem for me.

I was previously running dbus_1.0.2-1, and hal 0.5.8.1-6.

Attached is my console session with the apt-get upgrade command and the
resulting error messages that led me to think dbus was the issue.
