kde-guidance-powermanager fails to install due to hal failing to start

[Pascal De Vuyst (pascal-devuyst)]

That's right:

Setting up hal (0.5.11~rc2-1ubuntu8.1) ...
 * Reloading system message bus config...
   ...done.
 * Starting Hardware abstraction layer hald
invoke-rc.d: initscript hal, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing hal (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of kde-guidance-powermanager:
 kde-guidance-powermanager depends on hal; however:
  Package hal is not configured yet.
