[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#473052: Missing dependency: hal needs to depend on dbus-x11?

[Nathanael Nerode]

Package: hal
Severity: important

On an attempt to upgrade from etch to lenny, the upgrade hanged 
configure hal.

But *before* that it announced that it was unable to connect to dbus, 
complaining specifically about dbus-launch.

Now, the crucial point is that dbus-x11 was not installed on the machine
at the time.  dbus-x11 provides the dbus-launch utility.  After 
installing dbus-x11, hal installed just fine.

Hal apparently needs to depend (or possibly pre-depend?) on dbus-x11.
