[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#563343: acpid ignoring custom events if ends with '.sh'

[Ritesh Raj Sarraf]

Package: acpid
Version: 1:2.0.0-1
Severity: minor

I have added some custom events/actions to the acpid configuration. When I restart the daemon
so that it can read those additionanl events/actions, acpid complains that it will be
ignoring those custom events.

Renaming the events by removing the '.sh' from the name solves the problem.
