Does anyone know why command acpi_listen is not included in official slackware acpid package?

acpid doesn't build correctly. this should do the trick.

Code:

+               socklen_t len = sizeof(struct sockaddr_un);

                newsock = accept(listenfd, (struct sockaddr *)&cliaddr, &len);
                if (newsock < 0) {

EDIT:

this is also patched by the other distros (the debian folks made a very thorough one)and also in the cvs. i asked the author to release a new version.

acpid 1.0.6 is out and you can build it yourself. if you depend on it. it won't be included in the upcoming release however ( lack of testing )

Thanks for your valuable information.

But my previous question still remains not answered. My question was: Why "acpi_listen" is not included in official slackware acpid package? Is there a reason for not including this original command from acpid? You know I have to recompile acpid from source if I need this specific "acpi_listen" command to debug acpid.
