acpid

[Byron Watkins <Byron.Watkins@comcast.net>]

I am running Debian testing on amd64.  About a week ago acpid began
reporting an error status whenever I "apt-get upgrade" or use synapsis
from gnome:

Setting up acpid (1.0.4-7.1) ...
Loading ACPI modules....
Starting Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
daemon...invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 acpid
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I believe this to be due to acpid already running.
