Still not updating.
Thanks for your report! I'm not able to reproduce this problem, so I'm downgrading the bug to important. Could you provide some more information? In particular, could you run "upower --monitor-detail" from the command line? It should periodically print out a status report with information about your battery. If it doesn't, then this is likely an issue with upower. (Note that wmbattery switched to using upower in 2.42, right after the version that was in wheezy.) Thanks! Doug Torrance
