Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and help to improve Ubuntu.

The error in the log is:

Preparing to replace acpi-support 0.134 (using .../acpi-support_0.136_i386.deb) ...
Segmentation fault
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpi-support, action "stop" failed.
dpkg: warning: old pre-removal script returned error exit status 139
dpkg - trying script from the new package instead ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/acpi-support_0.136_i386.deb (--unpack):
 there is no script in the new version of the package - giving up

This is a failure in the acpi-support prerm call to '/etc/acpi/power.sh'. If you run 'sudo /etc/acpi/power.sh' from the commandline, does this fail with the same error?
