Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dpkg
Running:
sudo dpkg --configure -a
(to recover after a crashed update session due to a power outage) gave me the
message:
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
Investigating the problem, I executed the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/init.d %> sudo invoke-rc.d acpid start < 11:49:07
* Loading ACPI modules... [ OK ]
* Starting ACPI services...
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/init.d %> sudo invoke-rc.d acpid stop < 11:49:16
* Stopping ACPI services... [ OK ]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/init.d %> sudo invoke-rc.d acpid start < 11:49:43
* Loading ACPI modules... [ OK ]
* Starting ACPI services... [ OK ]
It seems that invoke-rc.d is broken in this case, because it returns an
error even though ACPI seems to start successfully? Either that, or
invoke-rc.d needs to be calling restart instead of start. This bug
caused me to be unable to apt-get install many things (which depend on
ACPI services) until I found the above workaround (I just stopped acpid,
ran dpkg --configure -a, and now acpid is counted as installed).
** Affects: dpkg (Ubuntu)

dpkg --configure -a fails when acpid is running because invoke-rc.d fails.
