Bug#573480: gnome-power-manager: Is not estimating my remaining battery life (in minutes)

Package: gnome-power-manager
Version: 2.28.3-2
Severity: minor

I switched to Squeeze a few weeks ago from Lenny. In Lenny, gnome-power-manager 
accurately predicted my remaining battery life (in minutes) by plotting my power 
statistics. Squeeze's version is not doing power statistics on my battery. 

When I right click on the battery applet and click on power history and then in 
the history tab there is no graph. It actually says: "There is no data to 
display"
