Bug description:
  Hi,

  Installing ubuntu-desktop package in LXC containers of Groovy and
  Hirsute (no issues in Focal) will cause the installation process to
  stall for hours right after the acpi-support package with many timeout
  errors:

  >Setting up acpi-support (0.143) ...
  >Failed to restart acpid.service: Transport endpoint is not connected
  >See system logs and 'systemctl status acpid.service' for details.
  >invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "restart" failed.
  >Failed to get properties: Transport endpoint is not connected
  >dpkg: error processing package acpi-support (--configure):
  >installed acpi-support package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

  When the installation process eventually ended in errors, specifically
  at the acpid package, repetitive errors can be seen in the
  /var/log/syslog:

  >Condition check resulted in ACPI event daemon being skipped

  After forcing the LXC container to restart, it will no longer boot up
  normally stuck at systemd-journald using 100% CPU usage. Figured out a
  quick dirty fix to this is to chroot or attach to the affected
  container then removed the acpi-support package. Immediately after
  removing this acpi-support package the boot up resumes till the
  desktop.

  I can only find one reference online:

  Thank you.
