Fedora 36, plocate-1.1.15-3.fc36.x86_64, systemd-250.8-1.fc36.x86_64
/usr/lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.service has
ConditionACPower=true because they don't want updatedb to run
when on a laptop battery.
Now, my machine is an Intel NUC which has an Intel mobile chipset but
is very definitely not a laptop. It doesn't have a battery and always
runs off AC power.
But ...
$ sudo systemctl status plocate-updatedb.service |& cat

Looking at systemd sources it seems as if ConditionACPower is checked
here:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/14e7bc2e77d2699498a1f74d7e4f905f11eca335/src/shared/udev-util.c#L662
It's a bit hard to follow what the code is doing, but I think it's
looking in /sys for power_supply devices. This hardware has two, both
with type == USB. (I believe these are the two USB ports on the front
panel that can provide power to other devices, they cannot power the
machine itself.)

Anyway, I think this is a systemd bug, right?
