Package: acpid
Version: 1.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist

When installing sarge on an ACPI-compliant laptop, the Gnome desktop comes up
and allows adding the "Battery Charge Monitor" to the panel, but the actual
program errors out with a dialog box warning that "/var/run/acpid.socket" is
inaccessible. This is hardly a friendly error message by way of explaining to
someone that they need to have the "acpid" package installed.

At a minimum, the installer should notice that it is running on ACPI-compliant
hardware and ask the user whether the "acpid" package should be installed. For
that matter, the Gnome desktop should probably notice that the acpid daemon is
running and automatically configure the battery monitor.

I'm not sure whether this bug should properly be filed against the "acpid"
package, the installer, or the Gnome desktop, so I will leave that to the
"acpid" package maintainer to sort out in connection with disposing of this bug.

Joey Hess offers this in #320094:

  acpid is already installed on all systems with acpi (and 2.6
  kernels) by hw-detect. In addition, unstable's tasksel installs it
  on any system laptop-detect thinks is a laptop. I think this is
  covered already.

which should close this bug. Thanks,
