hal post-installation script failed with status 2 when called from adept

[Martin von Gagern]

Binary package hint: adept-manager

I've been using Adept to upgrade Intrepid (from Alpha 6 to Beta, I think). Upgrading hal failed, and recovering from this error failed as well, both thimes with basically the same error message:

APT Error. Context:
    Running dpkg,
    [ /usr/bin/dpkg, --status-fd, 3, --configure, -a ],
    Sup-process returned error code 1,
    Error processing hal : subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2.,
    Error processing kubuntu-desktop : dependency problems - leaving unconfigured.,
    Error processing guidance-power-manager : dependency problems - leaving unconfigured.,
    Error processing network-manager : dependency problems - leaving unconfigured.

Running "sudo dpkg --configure -a" on the command line worked fine, so I couldn't reproduce this issue there, and couldn't get more information about what actually went wrong.

This seems to be an issue with HAL, not Adept
