While "start" should never fail for an init script, when the process is already running (which gets fixed above), the real problem appears to be hal running, when acpid gets installed (not upgraded).
I've taken the fix for this from Debian bug 380520 (http://bugs.debian.org/380520) and added it to the debdiff. This appears to be the real reason for this bug, but I've left the --oknodo in there, which is a reasonable fix, too. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #380520 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=380520 ** Also affects: acpid (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=380520 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Attachment added: "Debdiff for Hardy" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13386836/acpid_1.0.4-5ubuntu9.dsc.diff ** Attachment removed: "Debdiff for Hardy" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13386325/acpid_1.0.4-5ubuntu9.dsc.diff ** Summary changed: - acpid install fails, upgrading from dapper to edgy beta. + acpid install fails (because of hal running) ** Description changed: On upgrading from dapper to the edgy beta, the installer failed on the acpid update, because acpid fails to install, acpi-support cannot install, and therfore the required packages in the meta package ubuntu- desktop cannot be met.
