hal-device-manager crashed with AttributeError in populate_gtk_tree()

[Lie Ryan]

Binary package hint: hal

When I tried running the "Hardware Information" tool from Control Center and System > Preferences > Hardware Information, it only opened for a second then crashes immediately.

Interestingly, the Error Reporting automatic error summary is: "hal-device-manager crashed with AttributeError in populate_gtk_tree()", while the thread #196793 get a won't fix because they say hal-device-manager is already replaced by gnome-device-manager.

When I tried running hal-device-manager on a Terminal, it printed the attached traceback. While gnome-device-manager is not installed.

This is on a Hardy Heron system, just upgraded from Gutsy Gibbon. No prerelease Hardy Heron is ever installed.
