I think this bug has long ago been fixed, so I'm going to close this
bug. Testing shows this:
(laptop) touch doo
(laptop) chmod a-w doo
(laptop) ll doo
-r--r--r-- 1 me me 0 Jan 30 16:46 doo
(laptop) acpidump -o doo
Target path already exists, overwrite? [y|n] n
(laptop) echo $?
255
(laptop) acpi
Package: acpidump
Version: 20060606-1

Invoking acpdump with the --output option pointing at a non-writable
location causes acpdump to exit without displaying any form of
diagnostic on the console. It does exit with an exit status of 255 but
this is not terribly obvious since a su
