Comment 2 for bug 263888

Hi,

Attached is a patch that should fix this. Hopefully the changelog entry
explains it well enough:

acpid (1.0.6-9ubuntu4) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Remove the logrotate file on upgrade, as the previous one that was
    installed did a "kill -USR1" on the acpid process to cause it to reload
    its logfiles. As the new acpid doesn't use a log file it doesn't catch
    this signal, which means that once a week acpid is killed. As it doesn't
    have a logfile the logrotate file is not needed, and so is no longer
    installed, but as it was a conffile it is not removed on upgrades.
    .
    On an upgrade from an older version of the package we remove the file
    if it exists and matches one of the two known versions of the conffile.
    If it doesn't match it is just moved aside. The older logrotate file
    didn't send SIGUSR1, and so it is not as critical to remove, but it does
    restart acpid, which is unecessary. (LP: #263888)
