This is a bug in acpid.
acpid ships native service files for acpid.service and acpid.socket.
The problem is, that the native acpid.service requires acpid.socket, but
the acpid package doesn't enable it, so the native .service unit fails.

You can manually enable the native systemd service files by running
"systemctl enable acpid.socket"

acpid should either enable the socket unit by default (e.g. by shipping
the symlink /etc/systemd/system/sockets.target.wants/acpid.socket →
/lib/systemd/system/acpid.socket in the package, similar to how e.g.
rsyslog does it) or name the systemd .service differently then the sysv
init script, so it is not automatically mapped.

@acpid maintainers: If you need more info on this, please ask me or Tollef.
