Title:
  regression in /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh causes it to fail entirely on
  Ubuntu servers

Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “acpid” source package in Lucid:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpi

  The last upload of acpid causes a problem on systems which do not have
  the acpi-support package installed:

  acpid (1.0.10-5ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

    * Source /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs in powerbtn.sh (LP:
  #508073)

  The sourcing of the file happens unconditionally, and the acpid package does not depend on acpi-support, which provides that file.

  This could be solved by adding acpi-support to acpid's depends,
  however, this isn't desirable because it pulls in several X related
  packages which we would not want on a server.

  Instead, let's only source that file if it exists.  If it doesn't,
  then there is a foolproof failure case handling at the bottom of that
  script.
