I tried to reinstall acpid, but it has brought me down to the following state:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
toshset ethtool xinput finger laptop-mode-tools
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
