[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

On upgrading from dapper to the edgy beta, the installer failed on the
acpid update, because acpid fails to install, acpi-support cannot
install, and therfore the required packages in the meta package ubuntu-
desktop cannot be met.

The error is as follows:
Setting up acpid (1.0.4-5ubuntu4) ...
 * Loading ACPI modules...                                               [ ok ]
