Package: acpid Version: 1:2.0.23-2 Severity: wishlist The current acpid description:
Description: Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and configuration status. . ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the deprecated file /proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin. i.e. no mention of systemd and logind while https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#idp943504 says: 5.6.5. Interaction between logind and acpid ACPI events can be handled by logind or acpid. In case both services are configured to handle events in different ways, this can lead to undesired results. We recommend to migrate any non-default settings to logind and uninstall acpid. Alternatively it is also possible to configure logind to ignore ACPI events by adding: HandlePowerKey=ignore HandleSuspendKey=ignore HandleHibernateKey=ignore HandleLidSwitch=ignore to /etc/systemd/logind.conf. Note that this might change behaviour of desktop environments relying on logind. If I understand correctly: If logind is used, then it is recommended not to have acpid installed (assuming that logind replaces acpid completely). Describing (shortly) the interaction between logind and acpid would give useful information to the user when wondering whether acpid is needed or not (in particular when comparing with old machines). -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages acpid depends on: ii init-system-helpers 1.22 ii kmod 20-1 ii libc6 2.19-18 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13+nmu1 Versions of packages acpid recommends: ii acpi-support-base 0.142-6 acpid suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
