After installing 13.10, I realized libhal was no longer a
sudo apt-get install
away... in fact it was no longer anywhere to be found (except in the Raring Repos). And installing libhal from the raring repos is not the best option. It is the best workaround for not having it.
Why was it removed? Was it an accidental removal, or is it no longer going to be included in the repos, even in the next LTS?
I ask because Amazon (and other services) require it to be installed.
