[users] hal 0.5.9 dependancy for gparted (still broke!?)

[Dayne Broderson]

Greetings,

This has been mentioned earlier in other places:

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-fr/2007-August/000013.html

You can see clearly the dependency on hal 0.5.9 in the spec file.
http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/rpms/gparted/gparted.spec

I've got got the rpmforge repo and enabled and the kbs-CentOS-Extras. 
I've tried enabling kbs-CentOS-Testing too just to be sure.

Googling around the internet I can see gparted 0.5.9 is available for 
Fedora 7 but I can't seem to find anything related to RHEL or Centos.

I can't seem to find hal in dag's list of RPMs for RPMForge or in Karan's 
list.

What is the deal?  Have I configured something wrong, and others can 
install gparted, or is this an unresolved issue.

In my googling I've found a few (5 or 6) threads where this same question 
is asked but it has gone unanswered.  Perhaps this email can be the 
catalyst for the solution.
