[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#493204: Hal daemon doesn't start as a daemon

[El-Amine BENKIRANE]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-2

When we start hal (/usr/sbin/hald) he doesn't start as a daemon, even
with --daemon=yes

aspire:/home/amine# hald --daemon=yes --verbose=yes
11:27:05.532 [I] hald.c:669: hal 0.5.11
11:27:05.532 [I] hald.c:678: Will daemonize
11:27:05.532 [I] hald.c:679: Becoming a daemon

-> the software doesn't give back the shell

It brings trouble with start-stop-daemon, and so break the upgrade of
hal paquet (since it want to restart hal : /etc/init.d/hal start
doesn't fork, so aptitude stay blocked).


If we try to start without dameon mode, hald crash :
aspire:/home/amine# hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
