Package: halevt Version: 0.1.6.2-2 Severity: serious User: pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: halectomy
Hi, HAL has been deprecated and declared dead upstream so we want to get rid of it in Debian [1]. Due to the changes in udev-183, hal is no longer really functional on Linux since it doesn't receive any uevents any longer [2]. Since halevt directly relies on hal, the best option I see is to remove this package from the archive.
