[Bug 588548] [NEW] albums on removable storage won't load without hal

[JD Rogers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: digikam

digikam 2:1.2.0-0ubuntu2 (Lucid)

Albums on removable media will not load or display unless hal is
installed.

This appears to be noted in the halsectomy page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy

A bug report was filed upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215486
However, it is not clear that the KDE people are enthusiastic about fixing the dependence on hal.

Perhaps for now we can at least list hal as a recommends if not a
dependency?

I installed hal and had to remove the collection, re-add it, wait for 10
minutes for digikam to scan it, but now I have my albums back.
