That combination works for me. Let's check if we have the exact same
version of /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal. You can just compare the MD5sum:

$ md5sum /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal
3f1321d3006e133c789494981569d198  /etc/dbus-1/event.d/20hal

(I am not sure if this script is architecture-dependent. The MD5sum
 seems to be the same for i386 and amd64.)
