Package: gnome-power-manager Version: 2.32.0-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
The status (energy, current, etc.) doesn't get updated, unless events are triggered (e.g. charger disconnection). As a consequence, gnome-power-manager shows an out-of date battery status information and wrong estimates for depletion (which could eventually lead to uncontrolled shutdown). Example, with charger on, applet shows 3,7% charge: testu...@castor:~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now 1120000 Immediately after, having unplugged the charger in order to trigger an event, sysfs gets updated and applet shows 44,9% charge: testu...@castor:~$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now 13600000 This behaviour is experienced also in Lenny, where the sysfs update can be triggered also by cat'ing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state. In Squeeze there is no such file in procfs. In Etch everything was working fine.
