You can do a --force or --nodeps (can't remember which) but note that
your system will be slightly broken; if you do this you definitely want
to rebuild at least gnome-vfs2 without --enable-hal from the src.rpm if
you're using any of the GNOME stuff. 

You also want to remove the existing hal packages with --force or
--nodeps and remember to 'make install' from your local hal tree. That's
what I do - EWORKSFORME :-)

It will get pushed sometime next week (when the tree opens after
FC4test1). I need to do a 0.5.0 release and someone needs to release
D-BUS 0.31; there's also a number of packages that needs minor patching
to get this to work (for both D-BUS and HAL changes), so it's taking a
bit longer than expected. 

It's a bit unfortunate that D-BUS changes API so drastically, but on the
other hand it also gives us an opportunity to fix a few minor issues
with the HAL API on that account (very small changes though). At some
point all this will stabilize though :-)
