I was getting the same errors, i.e:
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Then I rebuilt acpid from the source package, and it installed without difficulties. After that, I cannot recreate this bug at all, even if I downgrade to acpid_1.0.4-5ubuntu6 or acpid_1.0.4-5ubuntu7 and try to upgrade again.

Got an error that linked to this duplicate bug on upgrading from Feisty to Gutsy

[stereodee (daniel-spang)]

I solved it by stopping acpi daemon:

sudo /etc/init.d/acpid stop
sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo /etc/init.d/acpid start

Hey dan, I'm new in this forum and new in linux.

Stopping acpid didn't work for me..

can you explain me how to compile it, as you did?

I tryed, but it looks like I don't know how to do.. !!

[vik (askvictor)]

I had the same issue; stopping acpid worked for me.

[loscotec (loscotec)]

I solved it uninstalling acpid and reistalling it manually from the package..!

Confirming. Same issue when upgrading xubuntu Feisty -> Gutsy. Stoping acpid (as suggested in comment 6) solved the problem.
