Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
acpid is not a dependency of HAL. In fact, HAL and D-BUS completely
deprecate the need for having a daemon listening for ACPI events. What is
still needed are scripts for acting on the ACPI events. Right now, all
the distros do their own thing.
However, there is a new project started by the maintainers of HAL and
gnome-power-manager based on RedHat's power management scripts. It's
still extremely fresh, but you could probably get it to work with HAL.
Here's the CVS for the new project pm-utils:

A simpler implementation which needs a small patch to HAL is used by
Paldo. See the acpid page (which installs nothing from the package now)
and the HAL page.
