[gentoo-user] hal?

[meino.cramer]

Hi,

this morning I got a block while updateing:
upower and hal cannot be installed at the same time:

 * Error: The above package list contains packages which cannot be
 * installed at the same time on the same system.

  (sys-apps/hal-0.5.14-r4, installed) pulled in by
    sys-apps/hal required by @selected
    >=sys-apps/hal-0.5.10 required by (app-misc/hal-info-20091130, installed)

  (sys-power/upower-0.9.9, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in by
    sys-power/upower required by (kde-base/kdelibs-4.6.3-r2, installed)
    sys-power/upower required by @selected



My question is: 

How can I identify _installed_ packages, which needs hal?

With

    quse hal

I get ALL packages in portage, which has the hal use flag.
That is too much ...hrmmm... info...

If possible I want to remove hal from my system...
Any better way to do this?

Thank you very much for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

This is how I do it:

root@fireball / # equery d hal
  * These packages depend on hal:
root@fireball / #

If you want to get rid of hal, which is going away anyway, change your 
USE line in make.conf and add -hal then emerge -DNva world.  Then you 
should be able to get rid of hal.  I would also run revdep-rebuild 
afterwards just to be sure.

If hal is/was running, I would either reboot or go to single user then 
back to default.  Sort of reset the services so that hal stops and the 
replacements get started.  Also, make sure hal isn't in any runlevels too.

Hope that helps.

Dale

I'm not sure how different it is, but what do you get when you do
"equery d hal"?

Just a thought...could be wrong.

I find that the most reliable way is: emerge -pv --depclean sys-apps/hal

Have a read at this guide which describes which flags you need to set to go 
beyond hal:
