[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#619774: package upower has a missing dependency to pm-utils

[Martin Monperrus]

Package: upower
Version: 0.9.8-2
Severity: normal

upower internally uses pmutils' utilities (e.g. pm-suspend and pm-is-
supported). They are hardcoded in ./src/linux/up-backend.c (see below).
Consequently, if pm-utils is not installed, upower works incorrectly and gnome-
power-manager as well. It may be better to change the dependency to pm-utils to
mandatory ("depends" and not "recommends").

Best regards,

--Martin
