Status in “acpid” package in Ubuntu: Triaged

Bug description:
Binary package hint: acpid

Description:	Ubuntu lucid (development branch) 
Release:	10.04
Server Install

acpid:
  Installed: 1.0.10-5ubuntu2
  Candidate: 1.0.10-5ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 1.0.10-5ubuntu2 0
        500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Expecting the computer to shut down once the power button was pressed. Instead the computer remained powered up and there was no text on the console. After investigating it appears to be an issue with the /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh script.

Running "sudo /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh" (which is referenced in /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn as the action) returns
.: 6: Can't open /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs

Replacing the line "action=/etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh" with "action=/sbin/poweroff" in /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn is a successfully workaround.
