HAL crashes with dbus

[Kristian Lampen <kristian.mailinglists@ewetel.net>]

Hi,

I use the recent sid installation, kernel 2.6.18 (update almost 
everyday). As I tried to use my USB-Stick yesterday, I recognised that 
kde does not mount it automatically (the same with cdrom). The last time 
before two weeks all worked well.

I found out, that the hal daemon crashes on startup:

sid:~# /etc/init.d/dbus restart
Stopping Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon.
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
Starting Avahi mDNS/DNS-SD Daemon: avahi-daemon.

I didn´t change the hal configuration, so maybe the reason is a update 
of the hal system?
