Title:
  acpid fails to upgrade

Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Trying to make a dist-upgrade renders me troubles (log below!)

  acpi can not create /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate because /sys/module/processor/parameters is none existant (as shown below).
  root at lincoln:/sys/module/processor# ls -la
  total 0
  drwxr-xr-x   5 root root    0 2008-04-25 17:12 .
  drwxr-xr-x 128 root root    0 2008-04-25 17:31 ..
  drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    0 2008-04-25 17:31 holders
  -r--r--r--   1 root root 4096 2008-04-25 17:31 initstate
  drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    0 2008-04-25 17:31 notes
  -r--r--r--   1 root root 4096 2008-04-25 17:31 refcnt
  drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    0 2008-04-25 17:31 sections
  -r--r--r--   1 root root 4096 2008-04-25 17:31 srcversion

  and trying to fool the scripts by issueing mkdir renders "cannot
  create directory `parameters': No such file or directory".

  I've been running Hardy repos for a while so it's not a clean dist-upgrade from gutsy but more or less so. 
  my base version is kubuntu but that was back in feisty or so, shouldn't matter for this.
