hal-0.5.7.1-0ubuntu9 breaks vmware-server

[Joerg Domaschka]

Binary package hint: libhal1

I'm running an ubuntu edgy edge box and recently installed the vmware server edition. While running it is possible without any problems in the dapper edition, it is unfeasable (at least for me) in edgy. I figured out (following instructions on the web for vmware workstation), however, that libhal1-0.5.7.1-0ubuntu9 causes this problem. Downgrading to libhal1-0.5.7-1ubuntu18 fixes this. (the same holds for version libhal1-0.5.7-2ubuntu1 I found somewhere on the web)

If I can help somehow figuring out which change between both version causes the failure, tell me. I could apply the patches sequentially, if someone tells how to do so.
