Bug Description
Binary package hint: hal
Hal seems to have been "broken" with the most recent updates.
It won't start and is causing other programs (and their dependants) to break.
This is a rather "grave" situation.
I've mentioned recently in other related bugs but it occurred to me that there wasn't a recent bug (that I could find) for HAL itself.

Same here, but solved.
I started hald manually:
$ sudo /usr/sbin/hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes
and got this error:
*** [DIE] mmap_cache. c:di_rules_ init(): 68 : Unable to open cache /var/cache/ hald/fdi- cache
Looking at the directory /var/cache/hald/ I found a backup copy of fd-cache ( I guess it was a backup as the filename was fd-cache~ ) and renamed it to fd-cache (the file hald is looking for):
$ sudo mv /var/cache/ hald/fd- cache~ /var/cache/ hald/fd- cache
Alternatively regenerating the cache works too:
$ sudo /usr/lib/ hal/hald- generate- fdi-cache
15:00:38.314 [I] create_cache.c:611: Loading rules
15:01:20.211 [I] create_cache.c:677: preprobe: offset=00000014, size=347312

15:01:20.212 [I] create_cache.c:683: Generating rules done (occupying 492732 bytes)
Now hald service starts correctly:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart
* Restarting Hardware abstraction layer hald [ OK ]
