I have just tried to install hal to give it a try, but have been overwhelmed by the things it requires to install: The following NEW packages will be installed: gnome-keyring hal libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libbonoboui2-0 libbonoboui2-common libcroco3 libeel2-2 libeel2-data libgail-common libgail17 libgnome-desktop-2 libgnome-keyring0 libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libgnomecanvas2-0 libgnomecanvas2-common libgnomecups1.0-1 libgnomeprint2.2-0 libgnomeprint2.2-data libgnomeprintui2.2-0 libgnomeprintui2.2-common libgnomeui-0 libgnomeui-common libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomevfs2-common libgtkhtml2-0 libnautilus2-2 libpanel-applet2-0 librsvg2-2 librsvg2-bin librsvg2-common libselinux1 libzvt2.0-0 python2.3-dbus python2.3-gnome2 shared-mime-info I suppose hal doesn't really need gnome-keyring, libgnomecups or libnautilus2-2, IMHO dependencies should be added more carefully, splitting packages where needed, or setting them as Recommends if they are not really *needed*. Best regards
