Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
Since the update to 0.5.9 in feisty-backports hal does no longer accept fdi files which contain a merge with type="uint64". Such files are simply ignored. Usually this is not a problem since hal (i.e. hal-info in 0.5.9) doesn't come with any such fdi files but it potentially makes the use of certain user provided fdi files impossible (as in my case). Downgrading to 0.5.8.1 solved the problem for me.

Thorsten Schoel reported this a while ago at Launchpad:
"Since the update to 0.5.9 in feisty-backports hal does no longer accept fdi files which contain a merge with type="uint64". Such files are simply ignored.

After I asked him whether the bug was still present in the latest version he told me that he could still reproduce it.
He provided this example file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<match <email address hidden> :storage. cdrom.cdr" bool="true">
<match key="block. is_volume" bool="true">
<merge key="foo" type="string" >foo</merge>
<merge key="bar" type="uint64" >12345< /merge>
</match>
</match>
<device>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
Removing the uint64 merge makes HAL detect the fdi file again.
