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As a consequence, gnome-power-manager shows an out-of date battery status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:
testuser@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:
testuser@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.
