It looks like I have a problem with hal or dbus here.

I have followed the instructions on the wiki, copied
/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d/hal to /etc/rc.d, enabled hal in rc.conf,
modified /usr/pkg/etc/pulse/default.pa, rebooted, but I have an exit
code from dmesg:

[/etc/rc starting at Tue Jan 21 16:33:25 CET 2014]
[running rcorder]
rcorder: requirement `dbus' in file `/etc/rc.d/hal' has no providers.
rcorder exited with code 1
.....
[running /etc/rc.d/hal]
Starting hal.
/etc/rc.d/hal exited with code 1
...........

[failures]
The following components reported failures:
    rcorder /etc/rc.d/mountall /etc/rc.d/postfix /etc/rc.d/hal
See /var/run/rc.log for more information.

Trying to start it manually fails:

-bash-4.2# /etc/rc.d/hal status
hal is not running.
-bash-4.2# /etc/rc.d/hal start
Starting hal.
-bash-4.2# /etc/rc.d/hal status

I do have dbus:

-bash-4.2# pkg_info|grep dbus
dbus-1.6.18         Message bus system
dbus-glib-0.100.2   GLib bindings for the D-BUS message bus system


Any clue?
