It would be great if someone(s) could solve this problem. I tried to install acpid, but, as these bugs show, it won't install.
I tried stopping hal before installing. First problem: ------------------------------------------------------ # aptitude install acpid Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Reading extended state information Initializing package states... Done Reading task descriptions... Done Building tag database...

After unpacking 0B will be used. Writing extended state information... Done Setting up acpid (1.0.4-7.1) ...

I aptitude remove'd both packages and then reinstalled. That seemed to work. My guess is that these are only an issue because of previous, unsuccessful, installations. However, a fix that could handle such a case might be useful if there are others out there with broken installations from this problem. Second problem: I restarted hal, but I'm not sure if my (KDE) desktop session is still in communication with it. Could anyone clarify that? (I put in a CD and a notifier poppped up, which seems like a good sign.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
