** Description changed:

- This bug was introduced by an SRU related to
- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/power-profiles-
- daemon/+bug/2160748
+ [ Impact ]
+ * The package update for power-profiles-daemon (0.21-1ubuntu2) freezes during 
installation (apt upgrade or dpkg configuration stage) on certain systems, such 
as the Intel NUC 15 running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (Noble Numbat).
  
- Update was released on August 17, 2026:
- https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/noble/main/updates/power-
- profiles-daemon
+ * This issue was introduced by the previous SRU update (0.21-1ubuntu2,
+ released August 17, 2026), which was intended to address LP: #2160748.
  
- I also opened a bug report here:
+ * Affected users experience a hung terminal or package manager during
+ the upgrade process, requiring manual intervention (pkill and dpkg
+ --configure -a) to recover package management functionality.
+ 
+ * Upstream bug report here:
  
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/power-profiles-daemon/-/boards?show=eyJpaWQiOiIxOTYiLCJmdWxsX3BhdGgiOiJ1cG93ZXIvcG93ZXItcHJvZmlsZXMtZGFlbW9uIiwiaWQiOjE1NTQ0Nn0%3D#/
  
- # Description:
+ [ Test Plan ]
  
- While running `sudo apt upgrade` today on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on an Intel
- NUC 15, the installation froze when upgrading power-profiles-daemon from
- 0.21-1ubuntu1 to 0.21-1.ubuntu2.
+ * Boot Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on an affected system (e.g., Intel NUC 15).
  
- ## To complete the upgrade I ran:
+ * Install or upgrade power-profiles-daemon to the proposed version containing 
the fix:
+ sudo apt install power-profiles-daemon
  
- sudo pkill -9 -f power-profiles-daemon
- sudo dpkg --configure -a
- sudo apt install -f
+ * Verify that the package configures and installs completely without
+ freezing or hanging during the post-installation maintainer scripts or
+ service restarts.
  
- ## and then reinstalled the last working version:
+ * Verify that the daemon is running properly after installation:
+ systemctl status power-profiles-daemon.service
  
- wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/power-profiles-daemon/power-profiles-daemon_0.21-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
- sudo dpkg -i power-profiles-daemon_0.21-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ * Low risk. This update simply reverts the commit introduced in 0.21-1ubuntu2 
that caused the service configuration freeze.
  
- ## SRU
- 
- `0.21-1ubuntu2` was released August 17, 2026 in a Stable Release Update
- (SRU)
- https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/noble/main/updates/power-
- profiles-daemon to resolve "Can't recognize custom ACPI platform

- daemon/+bug/2115041
- 
- # Steps to reproduce:

- install 0.21-1ubuntu2 and cause installation to freeze on an Intel NUC
- 15 computer.
