Package: synce-hal
Version: 0.13.1-1
Severity: serious
Justification: makes rndis devices unusable
Hi, there is an error in /usr/lib/hal/hal-synce-rndis: the path to /var
is prefixed with /usr, with the result that dhclient is unable to create
the pidfile and the lease file, so that HAL doesn't think the device is
connected.
% grep /var /usr/lib/hal/hal-synce-rndis
pidfile = "/usr/var/run/dhclient-synce-"+iface+".pid"
leasefile = "/usr/var/run/dhclient-synce-"+iface+".lease"
pidfile = "/usr/var/run/dhclient-synce-"+iface+".pid"
leasefile = "/usr/var/run/dhclient-synce-"+iface+".lease"

>From a cursory look at the source, this appears to be caused by running
configure with --prefix=/usr, since line 950 in the configure script
reads:
localstatedir='${prefix}/var'
So when $prefix is set to /usr in debian/rules, localstatedir gets set
to /usr/var/, which is non-existent.
The configure script probably has to be coaxed to do the right thing by
explicitly specifying localstatedir=/var, or something along those
lines.

The easy way is the wrong way, and the hard way is the stupid way. Pick one.

synce-hal 0.13.1-2, which was uploaded last night, already contains this
fix.
