[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#756485: acpid: Unable to upgrade/downgrade

[Jan Huijsmans]

Package: acpid
Version: 1:2.0.22-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

Upgrade to this version resulted in the inability to stop package

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

1. AFter first upgrade (previous version to this one) moved /etc/sysctl.d
directory, so upgrade would continue. From this version to next (or previous)
failes completely as acpid won't stop. (or at least stop script exits with error)

2. manually remove status of acpid from /var/lib/dpkg/status

   * What was the outcome of this action?

1. Unable to upgrade package.

2. Was able to install -3 version of package

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Upgrade to succeed from -2 to -3 version.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
