Description:

I have a Thinkpad R500, and acpi and ibam broke after a recent upgrade:

When unplugged:

$ acpi
Battery 0: Discharging, 72%, discharging at zero rate - will never fully discharge.
$ ibam
No apm data available.

When plugged back in (much later, the percentage seems about right):

$ acpi
Battery 0: Charging, 51%, charging at zero rate - will never fully charge.
$ ibam
No apm data available.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
- kernel26: 2.6.36.1-3
* config and/or log files etc.

This problem is fixed with the acpi-client version 1.5 that is not yet in the repository. I attached a patchfile to get this functionality back working. NOTE: I did not look into anything else but just this display problem. Apply the patch, copy the binary to /usr/bin, done. Best solution though: get the 1.5 acpi-client, use the attached PKGBUILD for that one.

By the way, the ibam bug is a different one: the sysfs filenames changed in a recent kernel upgrade and ibam is looking in the wrong place. Upstream has been notified, but last commit was over a year ago last time I checked.

Any reason for not upgrading package to upstream 1.5?
