I have now found a fix for this, running: "sudo killall hald " and then "sudo dpkg --configure -a" This seems to fix the "device or resource busy" error and therefore allows acpid, acpi-support and ubuntu-desktop to install
-- acpid install fails, upgrading from dapper to edgy beta. https://launchpad.net/bugs/63450 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
