[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#859105: upower: Fails to mark system as "on-battery"

[Julien Goodwin]

Package: upower
Version: 0.99.4-4+b1
Severity: important

Hardware is a brand new Lenovo T470s which has two internal batteries.

Regardless whether a charger is connected, or the system is powered from
internal batteries, "on-battery" is always shown as "no".

Here's the result of upower -d while running from battery:
