hal on debian testing fails configuration

[Tony Baechler]

First, this is probably not on topic for Speakup.  Second, a bit more 
detail would be helpful, like what error message you're getting.  Have 
you ran "aptitude -q update" "aptitude -q upgrade" to make sure you have 
the latest packages?  Have you looked to see if bugs have been filed 
that relate to your problem?  Really there is nothing we can do without 
a bit more to go on.
