This is likely to be related to bug 217316. Was your "hal" package updated to 0.5.14 ? Regards
Yupp, the hal package (now?) has version 0.5.14 I'll try to downgrade to see if that will fix the issue. Any idea where to get a version 0.5.13? There is only a 0.5.14 version on the Debian FTP server. :-( Rgds
May be from some outdated mirror?
Found a version hal_0.5.13-6 and it fixes the issue. Nevertheless I also found a Debian Bug report #561724 which claims that the actual problem is caused by a bug in kdebase-workspace (ref KDE Bug #219143) and should be fixed with version kdebase-workspace_4:4.3.4-2. (it also provides a link to a version 0.5.13-6 of hal (http://martin-steigerwald.de/hal-workaround-debian-bug-561724/) In todays repository I found: kdebase-workspace 4:4.3.2-2 kdebase-workspace-bin 4:4.3.4-2 kdebase-workspace-data 4:4.3.4-2 Therefore I guess I keep hal_0.5.13-6 until a kdebase-workspace 4:4.3.4 comes along. I guess this bug report therefore can be closed. Thanks for your support
Merging with bug 217316. Thanks for the information about the Debian tracker *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 217316 ***
hmm, this again looks more like bug 219333
Er, yes.. the backtrace is more similar.. Let's see if the reporter still experiences the issue after upgrading to the patched package.
