Is acpid and acpi-support-base only for the power button on the case? Yes, if acpi-support is not installed but only acpi-support-base, then it only reacts on the power button. It doesn't do anything if any other power management software is running, though. If you're using kde or gnome you probably have the build-in power management running instead of the one provided by acpi-support-base.

I was actually unable to reproduce the problem except for a situation where acpid was not running to start with. Could you please find out whether or not acpid was running? Also what happens if you call invoke-rc.d acpid restart manually?

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

However, the question remains why it wasn't started.

However, the question remains why it wasn't started. I was wondering about that too. I even thought to myself if I should just uninstall acpi as I'm not on a laptop and acpi doesn't give much info anyway. I can power down the PC by pressing the Power key in the keyboard. Is acpid and acpi-support-base only for the power button on the case? I could test if it works with and without acpid running if you like.
