Package: acpid Version: 1.0.4-1 Severity: wishlist When installing sarge on an ACPI-compliant laptop, the Gnome desktop comes up and allows adding the "Battery Charge Monitor" to the panel, but the actual program errors out with a dialog box warning that "/var/run/acpid.socket" is inaccessible. This is hardly a friendly error message by way of explaining to someone that they need to have the "acpid" package installed.
At a minimum, the installer should notice that it is running on ACPI-compliant hardware and ask the user whether the "acpid" package should be installed. For that matter, the Gnome desktop should probably notice that the acpid daemon is running and automatically configure the battery monitor. I'm not sure whether this bug should properly be filed against the "acpid" package, the installer, or the Gnome desktop, so I will leave that to the "acpid" package maintainer to sort out in connection with disposing of this bug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
