Hello,
the packages "hal" and "hal-info" have been renamed to "trinity-hal" and 
"trinity-hal-info".
The error message you see comes from a packaging mistake, that I will 
fix soon.
Now, you can safely remove manually "hal-info" and install 
"trinity-hal-info", even if the version number is lower.

To avoid breaking everything, type following commands:
rpm -e --nodeps hal-info
yum install trinity-hal-info
