The hal acpi addon can use either the /proc interface or the events file
provided by acpid. Unfortunately when the acpid event socket goes away the
addon immediatly connects to the proc interface, thus blocking acpid from
connecting.

I need to think about the ``correct'' fix for this...

Bug#352512: hal: hal locks out acpid

[Johannes Rohr]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.6-2
Severity: normal

Hi, I don't know whether acpid or hal is to blame for this, but since
the last upgrade of hal, acpid has stopped working, complaining that
it cannot access /proc/acpi/events, while lsof reveals that this file
is used by hald-addon-acpi, which doesn't seem to be documented
anywhere. 

If hald-addon-acpi is meant to replace acpid, there should be some
hints about how this can be done, e.g. what do I need to do to make
the powerbutton event trigger the hibernate script...

Thanks,

Johannes
