Have you deleted the haldaemon system group?No. hal has yet to complete installation successfully on this system; I reported another bug about this a few days back.That's impossible. Hal has already been installed on your computer (otherwise you wouldn't have a haldaemon system user with a /home/haldaemon homedirectory). So, as I said, I can only guess that you have (unconsciously) deleted the haldaemon group. Please double check if a group wid gid 122 exists.
The reason why I claim this, is this call in hal.postinst
adduser --system \
--quiet \
--disabled-password \
--no-create-home \
--home "/var/run/hal" \
--gecos "Hardware abstraction layer" \
--group haldaemon
This adduser call creates the haldaemon group and the haldaemon user in
one go. The only other possibilty would be a bug in adduser, but I doubt
that very much.
Imho not a bug in hal. Just delete the incomplete haldaemon user account and reinstall hal.
I'm tempted to close this bug. I don't think there is a bug in hal. Sjoerd, what do you say? Am I missing something? Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
