[drcnjio908]

Package: acpi
Version: 1.7-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

First after an 'apt-get update' and then also when trying 'apt-get install
--reinstall acpi', I got the following output:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall acpi
    Setting up acpid (1:2.0.28-1) ...
    Job for acpid.service failed because of unavailable resources or another
system error.
    See "systemctl status acpid.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
    invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.

It turned out, that I had to kill fancontrol which was running in the
background. I found the error message unncessarily frightening, maybe the
update can somehow come to and give a more descriptive message like: "Close
programs associated with acpi (fancontrol, ...)".
