Title:
  /usr/share/acpi-support depends on nonexistent /var/lib/acpi-support
  files

Status in “acpi-support” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: acpi-support

  Running /etc/acpi/sleep.sh (or presumably other /etc/acpi scripts)
  prints error messages:

  cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/system-manufacturer: No such file or directory
  cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/system-product-name: No such file or directory
  cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/system-version: No such file or directory
  cat: /var/lib/acpi-support/bios-version: No such file or directory

  This appears to happen because the scripts in /usr/share/acpi-support
  have lines like:

      manufacturer=`cat /var/lib/acpi-support/system-
  manufacturer||dmidecode --string system-manufacturer|sed -e 's/ *$//'`

  However, those files in /var/lib/acpi-support, which were part of the
  acpi-support package in karmic, are no longer there in lucid's acpi-
  support.

  Probably either the /usr/share/acpi-support scripts should be updated
  not to need the removed files, or the removed files should be put
  back. I'm not sure what those files do (sleep.sh still works fine
  without them) so I'm not sure which way is the best way, but I'd be
  happy to make a patch to do one or the other if it would help.
