I think it wasn't running because I just booted afresh and: # systemctl status acpid.service acpid.service - ACPI event daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/acpid.service; static) Active: inactive (dead) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/acpid.service > Also what happens if you call invoke-rc.d acpid restart manually? > > It gives the same error as when the package was upgraded: # invoke-rc.d acpid restart Restarting acpid (via systemctl): acpid.serviceJob failed. See system logs and 'systemctl status' for details. failed! invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "restart" failed. Then: # systemctl status acpid.service acpid.service - ACPI event daemon Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/acpid.service; static) Active: failed CGroup: name=systemd:/system/acpid.service
