Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: upower

I am using lucid.  I have a dell inspiron 6000

upower gives data that is inconsistent with acpi.

 > acpi
Battery 0: Charging, 27%, 01:25:50 until charged

this agrees with the bios, so I believe it to be correct.

the incorrect stat is percentage.  Note that it is 18%, i.e. different
from what acpi reports.  this battery is an older battery and only holds
about 65% of the design capacity when full.  So, energy-full seems to be
wrong as well.  I don't know what capacity is, but as I said the last
full capacity is about 2/3 of the design capacity, so it could be that.
In fact, 18%/67%= 27% agrees with acpi, so that is probably what
capacity means.

Anyways, this is causing my gnome-power-manager to report the wrong
charge as well.
