[Pkg-acpi-devel] Bug#909917: discharging at zero rate

[Joey Hess]

Package: acpi
Version: 1.7-1.1
Severity: normal

Battery 0: Charging, 4%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge.

Discharging at zero rate seems kind of a nonsensical description.

Looking at the code, I think it's rounding, and the battery was actually
discharging at a low rate (due to the AC adaptor not providing enough
power). It certainly would have eventually discharged if it remained in that
state.
