Bug Description
On upgrading from dapper to the edgy beta, the installer failed on the acpid update, because acpid fails to install, acpi-support cannot install, and therfore the required packages in the meta package ubuntu-desktop cannot be met.
The error is as follows:
Setting up acpid (1.0.4-5ubuntu4) ...
* Loading ACPI modules... [ ok ]
* Starting ACPI services... acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: Device or resource busy
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of acpi-support:
acpi-support depends on acpid (>= 1.0.4-1ubuntu4); however:
Package acpid is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing acpi-support (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of ubuntu-desktop:
ubuntu-desktop depends on acpi-support; however:
Package acpi-support is not configured yet.
ubuntu-desktop depends on acpid; however:
Package acpid is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing ubuntu-desktop (--configure):

Errors were encountered while processing:
acpid
acpi-support
ubuntu-desktop
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
If any other logs are required please specify.
TESTCASE:
1. Remove acpid
2. Restart hal
3. Install acpid
=> Failure

I have now found a fix for this, running:
"sudo killall hald "
and then
"sudo dpkg --configure -a"
This seems to fix the "device or resource busy" error and therefore allows acpid, acpi-support and ubuntu-desktop to install
