Bug Description
After upgrading from Dapper to Edgy I get:
Setting up acpid (1.0.4-5ubuntu4) ...
* Loading ACPI modules... [ ok ]
* Starting ACPI services... 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 ubuntu-desktop:
ubuntu-desktop depends on acpid; however:
Package acpid is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing ubuntu-desktop (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
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
Note: this is not a duplicate of #63450 as there seems to be no device busy - the workaround there did not help in this case.
I found a workaround by reading this thread:

Summary : install using deb -i !!!
