Package: hal
Version: 0.5.8.1-6
Severity: minor
This led to a real nightmare debugging hal problems, because first I had to
figure out that hal wasn't paying any attention to my configuration file
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi (thanks
to a typo). Hald really, really needs to report stuff like that in the syslog.

hal-0.5.9 (soon in experimental) will spit error message like this to
/var/log/syslog:
Mar 7 13:39:35 pluto hald[18749]: error in fdi file
/etc/hal/fdi/information/hp.fdi:12: junk after document element
For hal-0.5.8, if you want to debug problems, run it with
hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
This should give you the same info as above on stdout.
I think this should satisfy your needs, so I'm closing this bug.
Cheers,
Michael
