[Bug 60157] breezy hal missing a patch needed to work with 2.6.18 kernel

[Jody Belka]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: hal

The version of hal in breezy (0.5.3) is missing a patch that is needed
for hald to run on a 2.6.18 kernel. It fixes a bug in how hald deals
with the sysfs tree. Without it, a change in 2.6.18 results in hald
failing to start up successfully. The patch has been in hal for a long
time now (since November 2005), and i've verified that adding it to
0.5.3-0ubuntu14 gets things working again.

commit/2005-November/001790.html

** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed
