[Mageia-dev] HAL daemon required for Mageia 2 alpha 3

[Pierre Jarillon]

I have burn a DVD and make a fresh install in french.

At the end of installation, I have asked yes for the updates.
The bunch of hdlists was installed, bu nothing was updated.

After the reboot, any urpmi fails with "Daemon HAL (hald) not ready or 
available" (free translation)

I have manualy downloaded hal and its dependances (crypsetup, usbutils, hal-
info, lib64hal1, lib64crypsetup4) and start hald. Then update was possible  
for more than 300 rpm.

Upgrade from a previous alpha release seems to have no problem because hal is 
already installed. 

I thought that hal was no longer needed... Am I wrong?
