[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#628160: acpi: fails to correctly report battery charge status

[Armin Haas]

Package: acpi
Version: 1.5-3
Severity: normal

The latest update introduced the bug. Before that the reported charge level
was correct. at least around the emergency level of 10% which seems to be the
default.
Since then the reported charge status is off by about 10 percentage points,
which has the effect that power management emergency shutdown doesn't work
since the machine drops out because of an empty battery before the emergency
level is reached.

I use the XFCE-spin of Testing on a Samsung NC10. Power manager is
xfce4-power-manager 1.0.10
