[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#770461: upowerd become crazy after plug in my laptop

[Tomas Pospisek]

I've experienced the same problem (I believe) as Mourad.

My computer became totally unresponsive, however after a few minutes I 
managed to launch iotop and saw that upowerd was swapping like crazy - I 
deduce that it was a symptom of a memory leak. Just the thing that was 
fixed in 0.99.1-3.1:

   upower (0.99.1-3.1) unstable; urgency=medium

     * Non-maintainer upload.
     * debian/patches/git-fix-memleak.patch
       - Memleak fix.  Taken from upstream git head, commit 4221835f
         (Closes: #766762).

After upgrading to 0.99.1-3.1, just as with Mourad, my laptop has remained 
quiet and well.

I think it'd be good to ask the release managers to let 0.99.1-3.1 
propagate to jessie.

Has anybody asked them yet to let 0.99.1-3.1 propagate to jessie?

Otherwise I'd ask them to do so.

?

PS: thank you Michael for finding and patching the problem!
