I have the same problem as tocotac.

I was upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10. It is an IBM T22 laptop. I'm not sure how to copy the files you requested as I'm a bit of a Noobie but the error message is the same except the mine is in English.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as I can't use my laptop at the moment.

Thks,

jj

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. As Matt suggested in bug 282907, this should fail gracefully if /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_recommended_mask doesn't exist

Here's a debdiff for Jaunty

I have updated the kernel from linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic to linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic and the hotkey-setup does not seem to be an issue. Unfortunately I have other issues (Gnome now not working) but I'll log them under a new issue.

This has been fixed in jaunty, by virtue of the fact that the hotkey-setup script has been gutted and no longer makes any changes at all to thinkpad settings. :)
