Hal error when starting dbus

[Brent Bailey <bailey@utias.utoronto.ca>]

Hello,

When I try to restart dbus I get an error from hal...

# /etc/init.d/dbus restart
Stopping Hardware abstraction layer: hald.
Stopping system message bus: dbus.
Starting system message bus: dbus.
Starting Hardware abstraction layer: haldrun-parts:
/etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal exited with return code 1

I installed dbus (o.93-1), udev (0.5.8.1-1) and hal (0.100-2) and purged
dbus-1.  The udevd and dbus-daemon are running, but hald does not start. 
Please let me know if you need any additional information.
