[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#587599: acpi-support: syntax error in /usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs

[Sven Joachim]

Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.137-2
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I noticed the following error message upon boot:

,----
| Checking battery state.../usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs: 24: Syntax error: ")" unexpected (expecting "then")
| done.
`----

Among other things, this breaks the power button if no desktop
environment is running.  Here is a patch for this:
