If so, future releases are likely to require that step as well, so we should work on fixing that. Meanwhile, I agree that reverting to 0.99.10 is the next best solution, since this bug is keeping us from having an up- to-date system with a function as basic as a power indicator.
The 0.99.10 tarball is no longer hosted. :( We will need to change the source to git. The repository is < https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/upower/upower>. My current workaround is to use a channel at commit a4ac25df71a5b397d0a8e758e53ea3ba8981ecda when I reconfigure my system. That's the commit before upower was upgraded.
