Download the hal 0.5.7 rpms from a mirror near you.  Then use rpm to
install them:

rpm -Uvh --old-package hal*-0.5.7-3.i386.rpm

Yum doesn't handled downgrades.  There are other package managers that
do AFAIK, though I've not used any of them on fedora (smart and apt
spring to mind).

I also added hal to the excludes in /etc/yum.conf to keep the next yum
update from reinstalling the newer hal:

exclude=hal hal-devel hal-gnome

[root@zhang tmp]# rpm -Uvh --oldpackage hal*-0.5.7-3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        hal >= 0.5.7-3.fc5.1 is needed by (installed) gnome-power-manager-2.14.3-1.i386

Should the gnome-power-manager removed and re-installed?



thanks,

I tried it as:
