Package: acpi Version: 1.7-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
First after an 'apt-get update' and then also when trying 'apt-get install --reinstall acpi', I got the following output: sudo apt-get install --reinstall acpi Setting up acpid (1:2.0.28-1) ...

I found the error message unncessarily frightening, maybe the update can somehow come to and give a more descriptive message like: "Close programs associated with acpi (fancontrol, ...)". -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (950, 'testing'), (54, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages acpi depends on: ii libc6 2.24-5 acpi recommends no packages. acpi suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
