The failure is in the acpid package, because for some reason the service is failing start. As a package included in the default install, we should be ensuring that the unit does not fail to start (and therefore the system is not considered degraded by systemd). Reassigning to acpid.

hello. I am facing a similar one. is there any update on this issue? where can i follow it? thanks

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[alex (astein58)]

I'm affected by this also.
This occurred during LTS dist-upgrade to 18.04 on a physical computer with very basic configuration.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks
