Friends:
I've been regularly dist-upgrading (like twice a week) this last month.
I'd like to use k3b, but seem to be at an impasse. k3b demands hal.
I fear doing more harm than good by reinstating hal.If I delete hal, I don't know if k3b will auto-switch to udev. Nor do I know how to tell it.
I'll be grateful for advice. Move forward? Move back? Park and wait for the path to clear?

Something strange -- I see no such dependency:
Code:
root@aptosidbox:/home/don# apt-cache policy k3b

dibl:
Thank you for replying.
I see exactly what you saw and reported.
(Whining). Also, I see when I open k3b, a popup:
"System Configuration Problems - K3b
1 problem.
No optical drive found.
K3b did not find any optical device in your system.
Solution: Make sure HAL daemon is running, it is used by K3b for finding devices."
K3b will do all its other neat stuff. But it won't see the burner and burn.

The issue shows up when you run k3b, but I don't think it is a k3b issue. Use ps to check your list of running processes. You need to see most of these:
Code:
102 10803 0.0 0.0 58944 3988 ? Ssl 11:01 0:00 /usr/sbin/hald
root 10804 0.0 0.0 36396 1728 ? S 11:01 0:00 hald-runner

I don't get it. I can run k3b just fine and nothing from hal is running.
I even just removed hal and hal-info from my system and nothing changed (and it didn't remove anything else).
Have a look at what apt says if you ask it to remove all your hal packages, odds are you can just let them go (and hopefully then k3b will unconfuse itself). |

| simulating removal of all hal packages craps out:

devil: libkephal4 and libkephal4abi1 have nothing to do with hal and kdebase-workspace-bin depends on libkephal4abi1 so it's no surprise your command failed.
I've confirmed with two others that removing hal should not be an issue, one did it a while ago and the other just checked now. |

The latest information on that bug is from before the last Debian release. Since then kde 4.6 has arrived and dependencies on hal have been eradicated. |

gimp has no relationship at all with hal. |

Bummer.
Fortunately, I found that the relationship was that gimp depends on libhal1. So, I did the removals, then reinstalled gimp and it brought back libhal1. I think there must be no relationship between libhal1 and the other hal packages.
And YES (On Topic), K3b still starts up with no issues. |
