After the latest updates to hal-0.5.10-3.fc8 and hal-info-20080607-2.fc8 hald won't start. I get errors shown below when I try to start it. This is on a Fujitsu lifebook A6110 T5550 laptop.
Where can I download older updates between the release and the current update? The update repository only has the latest update.

Hi Nataraj--
Did you ever figure out a solution to this problem? I'm having what seems to be the same issue on a Toshiba A45-S250.
Thanks. --Andy

I also have the same problem.
It was working fine until an update that went abort in the middle (kids intervention...).
Did anyone knows how to fix this? I did for reinstall hal, hal-info and dbus. Any deaper than that I I will need to reinstall...
Cheers,

Had the same problem here, on a Toshiba laptop.
First, I tried upgrading hal to the release found in the 'testing' repos. That did not help.
Then I went to http://mirror.nuvio.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/8/Everything/i386/os/Packa... [1] and downloaded the rpm files:
hal-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm hal-0.5.10-3.fc8.i386.rpm hal-libs-0.5.10-1.fc8.i386.rpm
and installed them using: rpm -Uvh --oldpackage hal*
no joy...
Back to the repo, downloaded the files:
avahi-0.6.21-6.fc8.i386.rpm dbus-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm dbus-libs-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm dbus-x11-1.1.2-7.fc8.i386.rpm
and installed with rpm
STILL no joy :-(
One more time to the repo and grabbed:
hal-info-20071030-1.fc8.noarch.rpm
Installed with rpm and IT WORKED!!!!!
Now, I have NOT tried updating avahi and dbus to the current version, nor tried updating hal itself but leaving the old info files in place. I'm satisfied to leave the system as-is until hal is fixed.
YOU might want to try updating the hal-info FIRST, and see if that is all it needs.

OK, I felt guilty posting without knowing the minimum changes needed to fix hal. So, I just updated avahi, dbus, and hal and it still works! So it seems the ONLY downgrade package needed is the hal-info rpm.
YAYYY!!!!
