*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 182860 ***
By the way, bug 284268 is rather old so a duplicate notice may be incorrect. I just also saw that bug 284185 was also marked a duplicate. Feel free to reopen if needed. Thanks
No, it does not. Either proper versions of hal and udev didn't get stabled at the same time or you've failed to keyword proper version of hal for this udev version (recent versions of hal depend on libblkid from >=util-linux-2.16).
To clarify, comment 5 was written right after comment 2. This duplicate notice is indeed incorrect, as whatever the problem was in bug 182860, it's not related to the fact, that recently udev stopped providing libvolume_id, advising (and following that advice itself) to use libblkid from util-linux. Hal followed that advice in 0.5.12 (but not in those rc's that are in the tree).
(In reply to comment #6) I have installed sys-apps/util-linux-2.16-r1 and udev-145-r1 so i guess libblkid should have been used?
Let me rephrase that: is sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r7>=sys-apps:hal-0.5.12 ? If not, this is still invalid (reread last sentence in comment 6).
