I think it wasn't running because I just booted afresh and:

# systemctl status acpid.service
acpid.service - ACPI event daemon
          Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/acpid.service; static)
          Active: inactive (dead)
          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/acpid.service

Also what happens if you call invoke-rc.d acpid restart manually?

It gives the same error as when the package was upgraded:

# invoke-rc.d acpid restart
Restarting acpid (via systemctl): acpid.serviceJob failed. See system logs
and 'systemctl status' for details.
 failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "restart" failed.

Then:

# systemctl status acpid.service
acpid.service - ACPI event daemon
          Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/acpid.service; static)
          Active: failed
          CGroup: name=systemd:/system/acpid.service
