Package: acpi-support
Followup-For: Bug #497999
Looking a littler closer, there are more problems than just this typo.
*) This loop is attempting to match "$displaynum" rather than ":$displaynum"
*) Variables inside the "| while read" construct are only local to within the
loop (probably because it's executed in some sort of subshell or something), so
$user never actually gets set. I tried to export it, but that didn't work
eiither. Instead, the patch attached (again to be applied to power-funcs file
itself) reverts back to something closer to the old method, but using "w"
instead of "finger" as this was noted to be more reliable.
