New question #77265 on acpid in ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpid/+question/77265

When i was trying to install something i got the error:


* Starting ACPI services... acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

then, since the acpid script was the reason to nothing could be installed, i did:

cd /etc/init.d/
mv acpid acpid_orig
touch acpid
dpkg --force-all --configure -a
mv acpid_orig acpid

and finally apt doesn't give me more errors.
