Package: upower
Version: 0.99.0-3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
Hi everyone,
in former times, uploading a package that creates lots of breakage,
it was necessary to provides fixes, or support, for the broken
packages.
This seems not to be the case anymore. xfce4 is *completely*
broken due to upower0.99. Every update of systemd* breaks it,
suspend is not working properly, etc etc etc.
Why was an upload of upower0.99 allowed without making sure
that at least most of the DE and important programs are
fixable?
Don't tell me that it is the responsability of the maintainers
of package X. It is the responsability of the upower maintainers
to make sure that transition is halfway smooth. But we are speaking
of far from halfway smooth.
This *is* RC, as xfce 4.12 will not be released in time for jessy,
which means Debian would ship a broken XFCE. This is RC, and it
is a bug of upower.
Thanks
Norbert

That was made sure. Check the transition bug. There are updates to Xfce packages
to work with the new upower. Update to them.
If there are further problems in Xfce with the new upower, file bugs against
Xfce, and let its maintainers reassign if appropriate after doing the relevant
investigations.
