Tracing into /etc/init.d/acpid, I noticed that it is this code that returns error:

For sure, cause your system (VMware) wants to prevent you from using something that doesn't make any sense. ;)
Any idea? Oh, forgot to mention, I'm testing within vmware.
Forget powermanagement inside VMware. :)
Oh, I thought the acpid is used for monitor/display driver detection.
Then, can we break up the following dependency somewhere, so that grml-etc/grml-x etc can be successfully installed/configured under VMware plz? Maybe grml-autoconfig suggests (not depends on) acpid/apmd?
The problem is the acpid... As the consequence:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grml-autoconfig: grml-autoconfig depends on acpid | apmd; however: Package acpid is not configured yet. Package apmd is not installed. dpkg: error processing grml-autoconfig (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grml-etc: grml-etc depends on grml-autoconfig; however: Package grml-autoconfig is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing grml-etc (--configure): dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of grml-x: grml-x depends on grml-etc (>= 0.5-20); however: Package grml-etc is not configured yet.
