Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

Hal is deprecated, see http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal

gdm doesn't depend on hal, so libhal1 dependency is not necessary

You can check the configure.ac file in the git repo: http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gdm/tree/configure.ac

The current karmic gdm still has hal code, and configure.ac depends on it. For once this is the code to determine the current keyboard layout (Ubuntu/Fedora patch), and also http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gdm/tree/daemon/gdm-local-display-factory.c .

summary: - GDM doesn't depend on HAL
+ drop HAL code from gdm

This bug was fixed in the package gdm - 2.28.1-0ubuntu3

---------------
gdm (2.28.1-0ubuntu3) lucid; urgency=low

  * Replace 01_default_keyboard_layout_hal.patch with
    01_default_keyboard_layout.patch which uses libxklavier instead of hal to
    read the default keyboard layout from X.org. Drop hal build and binary
    dependencies. (LP: #418981)
  * 16_gdmserver_user_manager.patch, 99_autoreconf.patch: Updated.
