Description of problem: From original debian bug tracker : "gparted uses hal-lock to make sure that desktop automounters don't mount devices while gparted fiddles with them. However, this should not require gparted to depend on hal. gparted should just use hal-lock if present, and ignore it if not. If nothing else pulls in hal, then nothing will check the hal lock status, and thus running hal-lock doesn't help." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gparted-0.5.2-1.fc13 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to remove hal 2.gparted is getting removed as well Actual results: Hal dependency Expected results: No hal dependency Additional info: Tested on fedora 13 without hal and it works
