acpid bug fix update

Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated acpid package that fixes two bugs is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The acpid package contains a daemon that dispatches Advanced Configuration and
Power Interface (ACPI) events to user-space programs.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, the acpid daemon repeatedly wrote a number of CPU events
to the /var/log/acpid file on certain hardware that was set up for high
performance. With this update, the acpid daemon has been optimized so that the
CPU events are no longer logged to /var/log/acpid. (BZ#729769)
- The acpid package contains a trigger scriptlet that returns a non-zero exit
code if the /var/log/acpid log file does not exist. Prior to this update, if the
acpid daemon was installed but never started on the system and the
/var/log/acpid file did not exist, the scriptlet did not function properly and
caused the package update process to fail, which could have resulted in two
different acpid packages being installed on the system and registered with the
RPM database (rpmdb). With this update, the acpid package has removed the
spurious acpid record from rpmdb so that the problem is now fixed. (BZ#545760)
All users of acpid are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
