Package: wmbattery
Version: 2.48-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

After a recent upgrade from wheezy to jessie, wmbattery no longer
tracks battery information in real time.  The time remaining and
charge percentage are accurate when launched, but they don't change.

wmbattery *does* notice a power-loss or power-acquisition event,
and when it responds to these, it also updates percentage charge and
time remaining.  But otherwise they do not track.

On the command line, acpi reports good information, and gkrellm's
battery monitor tracks changes to charge percentage in real time.

I marked the bug 'grave' since the only purpose of the package is to
monitor battery status in real time, and if the status is not updated,
the package is not fulfilling its intended purpose.

I mostly run a standard jessie installation, but just in case I did
install the latest wmbattery from stretch.  Still not updating.
